I had no idea that yesterday was National Lighthouse Day (or that it existed at all), but in its honor I'd like to show you all a picture of Earlybird's bedroom door ...
My mum painted it before he was born. :)
And here are lighthouse curtains made by Bill's mom ...
And even a lighthouse lamp!
(In case you couldn't tell, Earlybird's bedroom is done in a lighthouse theme!)
Also, here's a link to my Portland trip last September - my friends and I visited several lighthouses that weekend, so naturally there are tons of pictues! And here's a link to the "Open Lighthouse Day" website - lots of great links to explore there! (Fyi: Maine's annual "Open Lighthouse Day" is Saturday, September 15th this year.)
Finally, how about a few "lighthouse book" recommendations?
The Little Red Lighthouse and The Great Gray Bridge
North American Lighthouses Coloring Book
Lighthouses for Kids: History, Science and Lore
Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie

Have you ever visited a lighthouse before? They're such an interesting part of our maritime history!
Well, my friends ... have yourselves a wonderful Wednesday, and I'll see you again sometime soon!
