Edee was especially tentative with her hugs, kisses and Mother's Day wishes. We unexpectedly got to share the day with Maddi too. I am grateful to have had time with all 4 of us together. There was only one thing to do on a holiday together: take advantage of the day.
After my favorite breakfast of Eggs Benedict with turkey bacon and avocado (plus smoked gouda cheese, a new addition), then freshly frothed coconut cream coffee we went on a little adventure to Whitehall. I knew we didn't have to travel far to add a little something new to our day.
It's been a few month since we've visited a lighthouse so I was excited to see a new one (technically, an old one considering this one was built in 1875). The White River Light Station Museum was closed but it didn't stop us from walking the pier and enjoying it's beauty. I especially love the tan bricks and black lantern room.
We were all amazed at the amount driftwood, sticks and grass piled up along the pier. Ryan immediately went to a large piece of wood mostly buried in the sand, he knew it had to be a part of a dock or ship and it was. The buried fragments of a ship appeared in 2018 and will become buried and resurface now and again.
We walked along the beach, climbed a giant sand hill and collected stones, of course. The most interesting pieces we found were are what we assume are old fossilized pieces of coal.
Exploring pieces of history has always been fun but, this light station was a reminder of how exciting it is for us. Even though the museum was closed we did some quick research and found information about the lighthouse keeper and the shipwreck on the shore. Discovering true facts and details that have stood the test of time is exhilarating. This is a part of our adventures that our whole family enjoys.
I can't wait for our next journey. I hope it includes another lighthouse!
I hope all the Moms were blessed with quality time and love yesterday.
Keep Loving.
