Lighthouses the Banks Family Visted in 2008

Anyone who knows us, knows we LOVE lighthouses!
We have heard it said that "Lighthouses to Americans are like Castles are to Europeans", and we think that might be true. When you visit a lighthouse there does seem to be a special feel to it. It amazes us how different each lighthouse is and how they each seem to have a unique character of there own. It's so cool!
Though we didn't make it to many lighthouses this year, we sure enjoyed the ones we did see. Hope you do as well.
If you are interested in viewing/learning about other lighthouses we have 2 great links on the right, under "Shannon's Favorites".
You can click on any of the photos to get a better/larger view.
Thanks for looking! -The Banks Family



This is the lovely Kilauea Lighthouse from Secret Beach in Kauai, Hawaii & then again with us in front of it, family photo!





Here is the Muskegon Lighthouse, in Muskegon, Michigan, and then again with a huge ship called "American Integrity" passing by! What a thrill!







This is the White River Lighthouse, in Whitehall, Michigan, with a variety of shots to go along with it. This is the only one we could actually go into and climb up to the tower of! Super fun!!!
