Good news everyone! Austin has decided he does not want to be a smuggler when he grows up. Whew! What a worry off my mind!It all started when we visited Pigeon Point Lighthouse this afternoon. We have been there several times yet I had never before noticed the trail that led down to the beach at Whalers Cove. So today that is the area we explored and it was so beautiful! It was sandy, rocky, rugged, mysterious and littered with shiny pieces of shells. It also had lots of nooks and crannies, want-to-be smugglers caves! Austin wanted to go and explore the caves and I asked him if he thought they were smugglers caves. He did not know what smugglers were, so I had to explain it all to him. Coincidentally the cove was used for rum-running during prohibition. And now Austin is fascinated with smugglers and finding liquor in caves!
The boys could have stayed for hours just running from the waves and throwing rocks!
Run away, run away!

It makes me so sad to see lighthouses falling into ruin and no longer used.
I love this one of the boys!
A little relaxation.

This looks like so much fun. I am glad you did not run into any rum running smugglers on your trip. But, what a great place to let your imaginations run wild.
That is fun! We've been to pigeon point a few times, and never knew about those caves either -- we'll have to check them out next time! It's so pretty there...
That lighthouse makes me sad, too! It looks so much like the one used in Pete's Dragon...that entire beach looks beautiful and so much fun.
