So after taking in the butterflies and natural bridges we zipped on up to Monterey (more specifically Pacific Grove) and managed to sneak into the Point Pinos Lighthouse before it closed for the day. We learned of Ms. Emily Fish who was one of the few female lighthouse keepers, that this was the oldest west coast lighthouse, and also about the unique light that beamed from the top.
Since we arrived so late in the day the boys were able to participate in the end of the day flag retreat. Lil' J has been studying how to handle the flag through cub scouts and M also had to get signed off as participating in a flag ceremony for his advancements, so the boys were excited to have the opportunity to help.
The docent got a kick out of N and his abundant energy.
If you find yourself in the area I would highly suggest stopping in and allowing the docents to tell you all about the history of Point Pinos. The lighthouse is currently surrounded by a golf course and is also a good spot for spotting whales during the winter migration.
