Coastline Treasures

What is it about lighthouses that fascinate us?  Is it there history and mystique of all who lived there and the sailors whose lives were saved by them?  Is it there beautiful setting, along the sandy beaches or the rocky peaks?  Have you ever seen the view from atop of a lighthouse?  It is like you are on top of the world and able to see way past the horizon.

Whatever it is that draws us to lighthouses draws us to surround ourselves with them.  I know that I have a lighthouse magnet from North Carolina and a small lighthouse statue from my visit to Georgia.  I have seen yard décor lighthouses, a lighthouse birdhouse, solar lights, yard flags, stepping stones and so much more.  Whenever I visit the coast, I make sure I visit the local lighthouse.  Walking up their grand staircase to the top and looking out to the ships they protect is exhilarating.
