I almost didn’t go

I decided last night that this is where I would go this morning. I decided that I would get an early start as the drive was going to take a little more than 2 hours. So why then this morning did I start contemplating shortening the trip and going to Pemaquid instead?

I have cruised by the Marshall Point Lighthouse at least four times by boat and none of the photos I took made the cut. Being there and able to shift around to different spots made all the difference I have a boatload of photos that will all make the cut.

There are many lovely memorials to people who have passed, including a stunning fisherman’s memorial. I felt moved to stop and touch each one while saying a prayer for the ones gone and the ones left behind.

I was curious about the name of this lighthouse so I did a little google search and found at that the keepers house has been converted to an Inn. It will go on a wish list, but that will be the ridiculously expensive wish list. The Inn is only open from May to September, you are required to book for two nights, and the least expensive accommodation is $800.00 a night. While expensive based on what’s on the website it appears to be worth it. All meals are included, and there are only two rooms in the Inn. Talk about a luxury trip.

Oh and I never did find out the history behind the name.
