One of the great sites in Currituck County is the Currituck Lighthouse in Corolla. The other week, they had a festival for the local residents and we were able to climb the lighthouse for free. So I took the plunge and climbed the 220 steps to the top. It's quite a feat for a guy who has problems with heights, but it was well worth it.
Kara and Kasia decided to stay at the bottom and wait for me. Actually, we decided that we didn't want to go up with Kasia because we knew that inevitably we'd get half-way up and she'd want us to carry her the rest of the way. And since Kara has already climbed the lighthouse, it just made sense for them to stay at the bottom.
This is what Kara and Kasia look like from atop the Currituck Lighthouse. That's them in the very center sitting in the shade of the tree.

Good for you! I'm glad that you climbed it and weren't scared. I remember Mom telling us the story of wanting to take Dad to the top of the ranger station up near... well... somewhere up near Bowler. He chickened out. He wouldn't go up because of the heights. I'm glad you'er starting a new trend for the Gruetzmachers that have a fear of heights.
