St Augustine Light Station - 2/27/14

Our first sightseeing adventure after arriving in St. Augustine on 2/26/14 was to the historic light house built approximately 140 years ago. We climbed the 219 steps (and yes, I had to rest a couple of times on the way up), for the fabulous panoramic views from the top.  The lighthouse keeper's home is part of the museum on the grounds as well as a display of the fresnel lights that could be seen 25 miles out to sea!
