More vacation photos...

We're visiting Cabrillo National Monument in Southern California. It's a warm sunny day in June 2009.














My loving hubby, Ken...

















... niece Megan, sister Linda, niece Kaitlyn and granddaughter Mary.




















A beautiful day to check out the restored lighthouse on the hill.













There was a spiral staircase inside the lighthouse. It was a narrow, very steep set of stairs and really a tight fit.





Just think of the light house keepers ... ascending and descending ... all day long. Wouldn't need any stair-stepper machine back then!





Can you imagine what it would have been like, carrying a hot mug of coffee up those stairs to warm the master of the lighthouse during a storm?




Darn! Couldn't go to the top and look out the windows. It was sealed off with an iron grate.











The family living area was small, but cozy.
