It’s great to be home after the anniversary trip with my husband that I mentioned the other day. Today was a very active day! I played pickleball in the middle of the day at a nearby club, then worked at my desk job for several hours, then went out for a few loops around my neighborhood.
The past few days have been lovely with sunlight and fall color. In honor of WednesdayWalk hosted by 
On the last day of our anniversary trip we visited lighthouses and harbor lights. It was a great day for getting steps! But I didn’t manage to post that day.
This one is part of a set of two harbor lights which are lined up one several hundred feet behind the other. When ships on Lake Michigan come into this harbor, they know they are pointed in the right direction when the align the two lights.
This is the light at the back furthest from the harbor.
This is the light at the front closest to the harbor.
There’s a very long walkway between the two lights.
There’s also a beautiful nature walk in the woods next to the harbor lights.
Next we visited an actual lighthouse, which you can climb inside, for a fee. It’s 97 steps to the top.
They have some rooms decorated with historic implements and clothing from when the lighthouse was manned by a lighthouse keeper.
Next we visited a lookout tower that has a long walkway to the top accessible by wheelchair. You can also take stairs but the walkway was so scenic that most people went that way.
Plus there were a lot of plaques describing the flora and fauna of the area.
Everywhere we went in the are there were descriptions of shipwrecks in Lake Michigan. These are the plaques at the top of the tower.
After our trip to the top of the tower, we enjoyed a picnic in the nearby grove, surrounded by autumn trees.
It was a great way to spend our 30th wedding anniversary!
Thanks for visiting!
