Arriving at St. Joseph Point Lighthouse was our first stop of the day while on our way to Tallahassee. When we got there, we discovered they were reconstructing it so they put the lantern room on a steel structure.
Our next stop was at Cape St. George Lighthouse. It was actually a $575,000 replica of the original which collapsed at 11:45 on Oct. 21, 2005. On March 21, 2008, the replica was completed. All the bricks from the collapsed lighthouse were used to reconstruct the new one. The heart pine stairs were the nicest lighthouse stairs I have climbed. With only 92 stairs and 62 feet up, it is probably the shortest one I have climbed. Instead of walking on the deck, you got to stay in the lantern room which had no lantern.
The last stop before we went to Tallahassee was at St. Marks Lighthouse. we didn't get to climb it or go on the keeper's quarters, so mom just got to take pictures.
After our 45 min. drive from St. Marks Lighthouse to Tallahassee, we drove to Publix to get some food. When we finished eating at the hotel, Mom took me swimming.
