Chocolate and a Light House

A fun tour today was at Angell and Phelps Chocolate Factory. It’s not a big factory, but  all the people were friendly and the free samples were tasty. We bought some of their chocolate covered chips and chocolate covered bacon. Mmmmm!


Our next stop was the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station. The light house has been in service since 1887 and is 175 feet high which means it is the 3rd tallest lighthouse in the United States. Climbing the stairs was exhilarating, especially after hearing about a keeper who had a heart attack climbing the stairs back in 1919.





Great view from the top.










The site had several buildings surrounding the light house including this Fresnel lens museum.
