A Lighthouse in Maine

A lighthouse in Bristol Maine was our destination today. We wanted to tour the Pemaquid Lighthouse built in 1827. It was commissioned by John Quincy Adams. From the 38 foot stone tower you can see 14 miles out to sea.

below is a view of the beautiful rocky coastline.

We spotted this beautiful sailboat in the distance. A perfect ending for a mystical day in Maine.

The June Gloom is Over

Dana-sail-boatOur Southern California June Gloom seems to be over, so after an early morning plant watering session, we headed for Dana Point where it was ten degrees cooler than our 100 plus temperature here in the foothills.

After a cooling stop at the harbor, we headed to Dairy Queen for a burger and ice cream sundae. It was a refreshing afternoon considering the temperature had topped 100.
