The Lighthouse

Neither Christian nor I had ever been to Cedar before Christian came here on a job interview. When he asked his soon-to-become boss where the hotel was located, he said, "You get off the freeway on the exit with the lighthouse." Christian said, "The lighthouse?" And Curt said, "Yeah, there's no water. Just a lighthouse." Sure enough,
there's a lighthouse. Right next to a bank and just down the street from the Super Wal-Mart. We have yet to figure out why there would be a lighthouse just off of the freeway, far away from any bodies of water.

But I'm not complaining because the lighthouse is what sparked Aidan's excitement to use the toilet.

Oh, and by the way, we have gone up to the lighthouse and found out that the door is locked with a giant bike-lock type thing. But you can see chairs through a window, and the top looks hollow. I wonder who we can contact for a tour?

Interesting. I looked it up online and didn't learn much, other than it is the largest landlocked lighthouse.

When I moved down there, I laughed at the lighthouse too. ha ha! I thought "umm.. ok.. random..."

Wow, we have the largest landlocked lighthouse?! Our town rocks! The point of it is as a mascot for the whole shopping area out there, which they named the "providence center."

So have you figured out digital scrapbooing and made your header? Looks cute!

So the mayor even wrote a show that "explains" why we have a lighthouse in Cedar City. It is one of our many festivals. It's called the "Himmelsk Saga Festival"
However, everyone I know who has been to see it HATED it. So, perhaps I'll never know the reason behind it (other than as a mascot for the shopping area, of course.)
