Staying
home long enough to tell Mariah that the kitchen and doors upstairs were
freshly painted, we headed off to enjoy our unique National Park.
We do have a National Park
here in San Diego, and we were off to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of
the National Park Service by climbing to the top of the lighthouse. Battery E’s Control Station was also open….such
fascinating stuff just a few miles from the house.
I never knew it was open
before. It’s a fascinating, two level,
WWII fire control station for Battery E…or
Battery Ashburn. The battery itself has
now been repurposed by the Navy, but the fire control station has been repaired
and restored by military volunteers.
It was a lovely morning in
the sun, then after salad at home, a quickie trip to ROSS where G got a two
inch smaller belt. Less worn out looking
too.
Great photo of the spiral stairs.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing all the great things there are to explore in the local area?
Wow, that place is amazing! Those stairs look daunting, though!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. With the state of my foot and knees, I would pass on the climb.
ReplyDeleteI've never gone up the stairs in the lighthouse, though I've visited them in my dreams many times! Thanks for the photos -- I do love San Diego; it's so beautiful. Hugs and have a good say -- and happiness that you're able to walk better.
ReplyDeletegood DAY! Arrrrgh! Typos... I hate them!
ReplyDeleteI think light houses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of sight seeing. I love the lighthouses here on the OR and WA coasts. I can still get up them with much huffing and puffing but it is slooooow, it? me I'm slow. But such views.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the walking my friend.
