Lighthouses

April is Lighthouse Recognition Month. In honor of this, the Alameda Lighthouse Appreciation Society hid 4 replica lighthouses in town. There was some discussion regarding the validity of this scavenger hunt, as it was posted in the paper on April 1st. But, one day as we were driving across the bridge, we spotted one of the lighthouses! One of the lighthouses was supposed to have clues to help find the other 3 and this was not the right one. I didn't really know how to find the first one, and had no plans to hunt them down. Then, on a rare evening out with Phil, I happened to see the first one! We didn't get a chance to stop, so the next day I went back by and discovered the clues. I then proceeded to drive all over Alameda hunting for the last 2 lighthouses. It took some time, but eventually we found them all.

Lighthouse #1, and the clues.

 A Port.

A Southern Shore. This one was actually moved from the original position, so an additional clue was needed.

A bridge. This is the first one we actually found. It was also moved, but just from the ground to a rooftop. To keep with the picture theme, Alex is sitting on Phil's shoulders.
