The Montauk Lighthouse

Today we intended to visit the Montauk Point Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in New York State, built in 1796. It was cold and rainy, but we braved it anyway. We didn't end up climbing the lighthouse, because it was so foggy that we wouldn't have been able to see anything. It was fun anyway!




Can you tell how dreary it was?

This photo, from the Montauk Lighthouse website, is apparently what it looks like on a sunny day:

After the lighthouse, we went to the beach just to see it. It was no longer rainy, and it was almost completely empty, which was really cool.


One good thing has come of the cold weather though - baking! This afternoon, we baked zucchini bread, and it was delicious.



Earlier in the week, we also baked honey whole wheat scones, which were very good with butter, jam, and tea.
