Old Barney

Posted On August 13, 2009

Today’s adventure (and blustery weather) took us to Barnegat Light at the northern tip of Long Beach Island. This year, the lighthouse is 150 years old…and was relight on January 1, 2009, after years of retirement.

Since it was a nasty day, we had to wait quite some time to get into the lighthouse, but after about 45 minutes on line, we were able to start the ascent…

William lasted about 10 of the 217 steps to the top of the light. Jennifer had a hard time making it to the top…due to a bad issue with heights…but braved onward for the sake of the boys.

Apparently, the boys do not share mommy’s fear of heights (she is probably queezy just looking at this picture).
