Mukilteo Lighthouse Park

Yesterday after church we went for a drive. We ended up in Mukilteo which is right on Puget Sound. This is a beautiful area and yesterday was gorgeous with sun and blue skies. Not one single cloud! Lulu has a little lighthouse decoration and she was talking about it and Mark said "let's go see a real lighthouse", so we got in the car and he took us up to Mukilteo.

Here's Lulu getting ready to go inside and see it. She was so excited and couldn't wait to go up to the top. We had to wait our turn because there's not much room up there. Only about 4-5 people can go up at a time. Here's Mark talking with the lighthouse volunteer. This light house's light shines for 2 seconds and then goes off for 3 seconds and the light never goes out. Here is Mark making the trek up the spiral stair case. Here we are at the top. Here we are facing the other direction. It was just beautiful. Both Lulu and Levi loved looking out at everything. Here is a Washington State Ferry Boat getting ready to take off. The floor of the light house had tiles with donors names all over it and I saw this one and thought it was perfect and so true. Here is the light. It's was like a piece of art. Here is Lulu enjoying the view. Mark went down and got a picture of us out on the lookout deck. Here we are on our way down. It's very narrow and steep, a bit nerve wracking for a mom. Then Mark took Lulu back up for one more look out. We had Lulu take our picture.......it's just a tad off kilter. Here is Mark, Lulu and Levi on the steps to the light house gift shop. Here is Lulu and I on the porch of the gift shop. Isn't it just beautiful? And to think we live only a small drive from here. I felt like we were on vacation. While Mark and Levi went to go get the van Lulu and I went down to the beach and tossed rocks into the water. We had a great afternoon.
