Solomon's Island Calvert Marine Museum, Lighthouse & Great Falls

Last post...I know some of you wanted to find out more on the trip and what's there to do for kids.  On Solomons island besides eating seafood on the water, you would take them to the museum!  Lighthouses to climb and ships to sail....

And scary things to scream about!

Part of the museum is the Drumpoint lighthouse.  It was really a house, with bedrooms on each floor.

Rrrhhh...Caelan is so handsome!

This museum was cool.  Besides being a pirate, there were sting rays to touch, shark teeth to dig for, and otters to watch.  The kids really enjoyed it!  On our way home,  we were pulling into Calvert Cliffs (15 minutes north from there which provides a hike to the beach to dig for fossils) when we looked in the backseat and all the kids were asleep!!!!  Geez.  So we drove home early and decided to hit Great Falls Park instead on our way back.....

The boys were crazy climbers up and down the rocks.  Our Tristan is a natural rock climber.

Micah when he hit the summit!

What a great trip, so close, so fun and so new.  Oh, and so cheap, too!  Looks like we have found our go-to vacation spot!
