Lighthouse Point on Louisbourg Harbour.
Another view of Lighthouse Point.
We'll have to come back and take a tour of the fortress when Samantha is a bit older.
Looking from Lighthouse Point to Louisbourg Fortress.
Rubby and Bryan pretending to read about the history of the area.
Bryan uses to binoculars to look for the lighthouse.
Then Rubby gets out the GPS... where could that lighthouse be?
There it is!
Rubby found a geocache with a lighthouse travel bug... how appropriate!
We head on over to get a closer look.
Samantha checks out the new lighthouse (1923-present)
and the foundation of the old one (1842-1922).
Samantha and Bryan horsing around.
Hmmmm, there must be berries around here.
Along the way we meet a little crab and some snails.
The path gets a little rough in spots but Rubby doesn't seem to mind.
Found the cache!
What are you taking a picture of Bryan?
Oh, a wasps nest!
Heading back we get another great view of Lighthouse Point.
We made it!
