Today Tom and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. My wonderful husband suggested we go to Montauk Point Lighthouse and have a picnic. How romantic is that?It was an absolutely beautiful day. The weather was perfect. The Lighthouse has a museum that displayed interesting facts about the first Lighthouse commissioned by President George Washington in New York. Below are some pictures of the museum.
The Lighthouse @ 1796
The Lighthouse @ 1860
The Lighthouse @ 1945 until present
Previous light.
The Lighthouse itself has 137 steps to the top. Below are pictures of these stairs.
I didn’t let my bad knees deter me from getting to the top. I took one step at a time and rested when I could. After a while my pocketbook felt like it weighed 100 pounds. My very sweet, handsome husband could tell I was struggling and carried my pocketbook for me all the way to the top. He’s such a stud.While eating our picnic lunch, I commented to Tom, “Maybe we should have done this on our 5th anniversary when we were young and had healthy legs.” We had a good laugh.
Enjoy the pictures. It was a great day. Thank you handsome for planning this wonderful day.

How fun. We visited some light houses on our travels and so enjoyed them. Being from land-locked Oklahoma we don't have light house around here!!!!! Duh :o)
Happy Anniversary you two. My post today is about a marriage workshop we attended :o)
Happy Anniversary both of you! Glad you had a wonderful time! thanks for sharing the pics, I love lighthouses...:)
It is worth it to get to the top! I don't know if I'd have attempted it. What a beautiful view.
I love lighthouses, but have never been inside one. I particularly am fond of the lighthouse on St. Simons Island after reading Eugenia Price's novels.
Glad you had such a good day together.
Looks like you had a beautiful day! I am so glad you were able to enjoy this day together. Hoping and praying you are able to celebrate many more anniversaries to come!!

Beautiful pics. Me and my hubby would of laughed at the same issues you guys did. I definitely have trouble climbing anything.
Happy Anniversary to you both.
What is it about a light house that is so romantic? Looks very beautiful. Great pictures - they tell a wonderful story! I especially like the picture of the stairs!
