Lighthouses

-
Mark and I went on vacation last october out to the Cape. When we were out there we went to visit several lighthouses. I have always been interested in them, but last summer i went to see my first and only one, so we decided that while we were in the Cape it was the perfect opportunity to visit some.
This is Highland Lighthouse. This sits on a golf course that Mark and I walked along. This was the first lighthouse we went to see. It was freezing that day, so we were all bundled up. 
The second lighthouse we went to see was Nauset Lighthouse. This is actually the lighthouse that is on the Cape Cod Potato Chip bag. This lighthouse replaced 3 small ones called the three sisters. The 3 sisters have been saved and moved just down the road for visitors to check out. 
This is the Three Sisters Lighthouses that were originally where Nauset Lighthouse is now. You can see all 3, with me standing in the middle. 
Chatham Lighthouse was our last one we went to see. Originally there were two lighthouses at this location. But when the 3 sisters were retired, they took one from here, gave it a fresh coat of paint and moved it up to Nauset. This is an active coast guard station so we were not able to get any closer. 
This past weekend when we were camping in RI, we went to visit the Watch Hill Lighthouse. I have not looked up any history on it yet, however we do know that the lighthouse is still working. Which is rare to find because a lot of the lighthouses have become decommissioned. This was someones private residence so this was as close as we could get, but we were able to walk around the grounds up until the fence.

Happy New Years

Every year people make all kinds of resolutions... and typically people drop them by the second week in january, or if they are lucky, they can hold on until february. I had seen online the other day someones resolution was for people to start loving who they were and to accept themselves and to stop trying to always change.  NOW, i love that resolution and i hope people are able to accept who they are, except in my case i am not healthy, and not only do i want to become healthy, but i am stretching for a much larger goal, and i hope that i can accomplish it! Every year we always see the magazines post online and publish in their magazines people who are now half their size, and the before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people. I want to work and push hard to become someone who is proud for becoming healthy and fit.  I do have something as motivation, and that would be my cruise that is next year. I DO NOT want to look the way i currently am on the cruise, nor do

Safe Haven

 **SPOILER ALERT** I typically do not like to read the books that get turned into movies because i will usually end up hating the book or the movie. However, when i was up at bowling i got talking to one of the other girlfriends who hang out up there and we got talking about Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. She suggested to read it, and she even gave me her copy of the book.  Ive had it for a few months now, and still didnt read it. I started about a month ago, and for the first few chapters, the book followed the movie, so i could almost see the movie playing in my head as i read. So i put the book down for a while. Just this past week i picked it back up again, and i finished it within days. The story is different.  In the movie Alex finds out about Katie's past because of the "wanted" poster up with her picture, however it really plays more into him finding out and its more a gradual thing in the book. It also shows her relationship with Jo more than in the movie,

Visit a Corn Maze  On 10/23/14 Mark and I went to a corn maze before Michael's football game. It was shaped like a vikings hat, and it was actually really fun. I had been to one when i was little and i had always wanted to go back to one. I was finally glad that i found one that was affordable! Last year all the corn mazes i had found cost about $30 or more. This one was $7! Perfect and i can not wait to go again next year.  Visit a Fall Festival  On 10/25/14 the town of Essex, CT held their annual pumpkin festival. I had been many years prior when i was babysitting someone, and i loved it! This year i made sure to look up the date, and when Mark got out of work we drive 30 minutes. The festival was fun! They had all the pumpkins that were carved and lit up. They had a band playing music and food and hot chocolate. It was a nice little festival to walk around together with my boy.  Carve Pumpkins  As you know we had bought pumpkins a few weeks ago,
