Beachy Blues

Hey there gypsea gals...
Mother's Day was spent at the Beach...
Which was all fine and dandy until I thought 
my children where trying to kill me.
One thing about this mermaid...
She is EXTREMELY claustrophobic!
In the same sense 
The pirate and mermaid in training
and I all have a love for lighthouses.
So we spent the night down in LBI
and today we went into Barnegat just to 
play around. 

Well, the Lighthouse was open.
And after begs and plea's...
I gave in.
Even with the warning sign that read:

ok.. you don't need me to go on, but you get the picture right?
So....we enter and start...

Yeh.. my heart does a little pitter.
Then patter.
Need I say more.
We only got half way.
Just couldn't do it.
Sorry guys.  
Even the little mermaid was getting a little quesy.
So.. off we went to hunt for treasures and
soak up some sun.
The perfect way to spend Mother's Day.
Hope you all had a wonderful day!
Linking up with Mary's Mosaic Monday

    Those stairs are really something! But a visit to the beach is always fun, isn't it?

    Beautiful shots of the stairs. I can see why you didn't make it to the top! Nancy

    Great photos! Reminds me of climbing the steps in Blarney castle to kiss a rock! Hope you had a great Mom's day!

    I love lighthouses! The last one I went in was the North Head Lighthouse in Washington. It only had 69 steps. Hubby made it all the way to the top of the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse here in Florida, but I wasn't up to the 200+ steps to the top. I'm not sure if I ever will be! At least you tried!

    Wonderful shots. I wouldn't have tried to climb to the top. I would have looked, taken a few pictures and headed off to the beach ... much as you did! Looks like a great day. Happy Monday!

    What a beautiful day and gorgeous photos my dear! I don't think that I would have even made it up half way. :) I do wish we had a lighthouse that we could go it to though, they are so beautiful.
    I had a great day, the sun was out and it was finally warm!! :)

    I have this lighthouse on my list of ?must sees"! I think there is a boat that will bring me across the NY harbor to Barnegat. I doubt I'd be able to walk to the top but the view must be spectacular up there!
