Lighthouses

I almost forgot about the lighthouses!  We couldn't possibly let Ben and Elizabeth leave Maine without seeing the famous Maine lighthouses!  Of course we went to Portland Head Light, the most photographed lighthouse in the country, supposedly.  We also took in two more that are in the immediate area, two much smaller ones.

We walked out onto the breakwater to the lighthouse.  The way was more treacherous than it looks.  The gaps between the rocks were quite large at times.  I was a nervous wreck with Riley jumping around as she does, announcing that she is a mountain goat and will not fall.  Ugh!





Portland Breakwater (aka "Bug Light").  This one is the closest to our house.  It's teeny-tiny and cute.



Riley could have looked through this forever!
