I have decided to take a break from cooking today. While, this is not something that I will do often, I thought that many of you would enjoy this.
My best friend (who is more like a brother) works for the National Park Service and is currently stationed at Fort Sumter. Today he was able to wrangle a trip for us to the top of Sullivan's Island lighthouse (which just came under control of the park service). For those of you familiar with lighthouses, this is the ugly boxy black and white one.
But the trip to the top was awesome! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to go where few have went before.

Looking up, 156 feet seems high!

I guess we are walking!

Powerful light, can be seen 3 miles out at sea!

Charleston and the Ravenel Bridge from the top.

The Atlantic Ocean and Sullivan's Island Beach from the top.
That's the end of the field trip, back to the kitchen, all of ya!
