Cape Florida Lighthouse

I took the kids to Bill Baggs State Park over the weekend.  My first lighthouse post!  Unfortunately, the lighthouse was closed so we didn't get to climb to the top and see the beautiful views of Key Biscayne.

But we did wonder what a light keeper's life was like back in the 1800's.

And we contemplated life.

And hunted sea snails.

The thing I like about the location of this lighthouse is that you can get a great view of the light house from every angle.  There are 109 stairs to get to the top and you can even go right into the actual lens.  Very cool!
