I can't help it...

Since it was such a beautiful day, Aaron and I set off on the Harley for a ride. Our original mission was to scope out a fishing spot for Aaron. We found him a spot and much more! When we turned on to the street we had been looking for I was instantly excited because I saw a sign for a lighthouse! I know what you are thinking...another lighthouse? I can't help it. I haven't seen many in my life and since we live in Maine why not take advantage of the opportunity?!

Here are pictures from our trip to the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse in Rockland, ME: (Remember you can click on any of the pictures to enlarge them for better viewing.)

The stone walk way to the lighthouse.

On our way! The rocks used to make up the walk way were massive and beautiful.

The lighthouse up close. It didn't look like much to us at first until we realized you could climb all the way to the top of it!

The actual light of the lighthouse. I didn't get many pictures inside but it was a tight fit. The stairs were insane to climb. They were very windy and steep! I understood why a lot of people were not climbing to the top. But we could not resist!

One of the many gorgeous sailboats we saw around the lighthouse.

This picture does not do this sailboat justice. The four sails were amazing. I had never seen a sailboat this big before. I told Aaron it looked like they were coming to take over the little sailboat.

A picture Aaron took of me looking out the bedroom window. The lighthouse was manned up until 1963. In 1964, the lighthouse was fully automated.

This is the final sailboat we saw on the way back. The boat itself was magnificent but I was so excited about the dogs Aaron took this picture for me. Aren't they so cute in their life vests?

And finally, I am still trying my hand at this photo stitching thing. I didn't get it perfect but you can at least see the cool view from the lighthouse looking back to the land. Definitely click on this picture to enlarge it. I don't think blogger likes my weird sized pictures!


I hope everyone had a good weekend and that you have a great week!
