Little Sable Point Lighthouse

This weekend, Boyfriend and I drove up to Grand Haven again to visit with my sister and her boyfriend. It's so gorgeous up there! I'm hoping someday we will eventually move there. On Friday we ended up taking a short drive up to Shelby, MI to see the Little Sable Point Lighthouse. We all had so much fun! It was located at the end of a dead-end drive of a state park. It was so tall! You could see it over the trees before you even got to it.
There was a total of 130 steps to get to the top. It actually wasn't that bad, it was the getting down part that I didn't want to think about. I'm afraid of heights and all I could think about was falling down all the stairs haha. But we ended up doing just fine. 
The view from the top was gorgeous! We had such perfect weather. I loved that it was in the low 80's all weekend. The breeze at the top was surprisingly warm (I was expecting it to be cold) so we stayed up there for a while just taking it all in and enjoying the view of Lake Michigan.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend! I can't wait to visit more lighthouse around Michigan...there are literally hundreds of them :)
