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)
ReplyDeleteHappy 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...:)
ReplyDeleteIt is worth it to get to the top! I don't know if I'd have attempted it. What a beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
