Our final adventure was to Washington Island located off the tip of the Door County peninsula. When I was a kid, we used to spend many Saturdays on family outings to Door County for biking, swimming, and exploring.
We took the ferry over to Washington Island and spent the afternoon there picnicking, exploring, biking, and swimming.

Exploring a farm:
(Check out my sweet ride...my mom's Electra Townie!)
When we were back on the peninsula, we stopped for dinner at a traditional fish boil. Basically, fish and potatoes are boiled in huge pots and at some point they throw kerosene on the fire and it explodes, stuff boils over, and the fish is ready.
(Amelia immediately put her hands on those bosoms and said "what are THESE?!?")
(A Swedish restaurant that has live goats on the roof.)
I didn't get any photos of all the sailboats in the harbors, but it was lovely at sunset.
Before heading to the airport the next day, my dad whipped up one of his delicious pies for me...strawberry rhubarb. SO delicious! Thanks mom and dad for a perfect week in Wisconsin!
Wisconsin does sound like a great place to vacation. Any WI themed parties planned for the future?
ReplyDeleteOne day we should plan a vacation together so our familes can hang out. After all, our family planning is so in sync.
Ah man!!! What a great trip. So sad I was short vacation days and couldn't join everyone. Next time for sure. It was great fun seeing the next generation enjoy all of our old haunts!!
