a beacon in the night

September 2012- 

This is Goat Island off the coast of Cape Porpoise in Maine.  

This photo is from my iPhone taken as we approached by boat.

It is the place Casey was brought home after he was born when his dad was stationed there as a lighthouse keeper in the U.S. Coast Guard.  It is a place that is forever part of our family history.  It is now owned and maintained by the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust who so graciously let us "come home" and stay in the house when we visited with Casey's family for a lighthouse keepers reunion.  It was a homecoming nearly 40 years in the making for Casey. 

Words cannot describe how incredible of an experience it was for us to live in the house for four days and create memories that will last a lifetime for us and our boys.
