Day 7 -- Lighthouse Stop - June 10 2009

After we were done with our Cruise we went snorkeling at Tunnels Beach. There are lots of tunnels down in the coral that you can dive into. Well Coleman & I did not like to get deep--so we just snorkeled over the reef. It was amazing! Aaron & Julie took some pictures with an underwater camera during our snorkel adventures--when we get those pics we will post some!

Here is a picture of the beach at Tunnels Beach! After a bit of snorkeling we were pretty beat--so we took flipper on a drive to find a lighthouse! Aaron & Julie found flipper in a cache in WA and flipper's goal was to visit lighthouses in the Pacific! So we helped flipper with this goal! A & J then found another cache to leave him in--then they will update his travel adventures on the cache website!
View of the lighthouse!
We could have walked around it--but not gone in it. You had to pay to go further than this--so we just looked from a far--and felt it was good enough!
Julie & Roni looking at the views and trying to stay awake! We were all pretty tired!
Little green friend!

What a fun trip! And beautiful pictures as well. I am sure it was great to get away from the kiddos for a little while and enjoy scenery like that! :)

I'm sorry we haven't sent the pictures yet! They are in their envelope and even addressed, but I was going to go to the PO to figure out postage, so that's the delay. And they aren't that exciting, either because of quality. But a few are ok. They will soon be on their way, I promise!
