We just returned from a great trip to the southeast. Our main objective for the trip was to view Civil War historical sites (we visited 8) and to take the kids to Orlando, but we also got to see 3 lighthouses along the way. I talked my husband into visiting Ft. Pulaski, which happens to be home to Tybee Island light and Cockspur Island light. What a fringe benefit for me.

I am afraid of heights, but somehow managed to make the climb up St. Augustine light in Florida. My son counted the steps all the way up- my daughter also helped encourage me to make it to the top. Got there just in time to see a storm rolling in- what a magnificent sight! Couldn't bring myself to go out on the deck- it was a small victory just for me to make it to the top!

I didn't climb Tybee- due to the heat/humidity, not the height- but hope to make another climb sometime in the future. My kids can hardly wait either!
