Another Great Door County Vacation

From Door County


For the past few years, we have traveled to Door County, Wisconsin to meet up with Amanda's mom's family. This year's vacation was made a little less fun by Shirley not being able to join us. But we felt it was our duty to have a great time on her behalf. We did our duty well.

The rainy weather did not dampen the spirits of all those present. We hit all of our favorite places and enjoyed some new haunts as well. Here are some highlights.
  • Al Johnson's Restaurant--I had a delicious lunch of Clam Chowder and perch sandwich.
  • Door County fish boil--We ventured from our normal spot of The Old Post Office restaurant to try White Gull Inn. It was even more quaint and "Door Countyish". If you don't know what a fish boil is, you can see my video from last year here.
  • The view from the Fjlander's condo and lobby. See picture below.
  • Our day at Peninsula State Park, Wisconsin's largest state park. If you have an opportunity to go here, it's great. Camping here would be a dream.
  • Climbing the Eagle Tower just before dark with my family on Monday night.
  • Swimming in the poll every day with the kids.
  • Seeing and spending time with the Wendt clan.
Although we missed have Shube with us, it was great for our family to be together all day for four days. Thanks so much for a great vacation, Shirley. It will be one that we'll all remember. You can see all of our photos by clicking the photo below.
