Door County Funness!

We spent Labor Day weekend and our 4th wedding anniversary in Door County.

A popular vacation spot for the Wisconsin and the midwest. It is basically a penninsula just north of Green Bay that juts out into Lake Michigan.

It takes about an hour to drive the length of the penninsula.

We stayed in Sturgeon Bay area in a little B&B.

Our first day we went to a county park that has these great
bluffs and little caves formed from the waves of Lake Michigan










Door county has a lot of orchards and wineries. Door county is known for it's cherries, so we tried some amazing cherry wine. The cherry flavor really pops in your mouth I really hadn't had anything like it before. Here is Matt after a little too much free wine tasting, hehe!
Door County has a lot of Maritime museums and businesses. There was this shipbuilding company across the street from our B&B and we were in awe of the huge ships they were working on.

Door County has miles of coast line, so we spent our evenings watching the sunset.


Or not watching it so much!


There are lots of little islands off the coast, we visited Washington Island which is the largest one and the only one that is developed. We rode a ferry over and took our bikes to explore. The island was only 5 miles in diameter.

This was School House Beach, very pretty beach, but a little rocky!

This restaurant was in Sister Bay. Much of Door county was settled by scandanavian immigrants. So there is a lot Swedish, Norwegian and Iceland culture and imports. There is also a lot of artists and galleries in Door County wtih unique gifts and art.

This Swedish restaurant has a grass roof with goats on top that just wander and graze on the roof! The food was just okay, but the atmosphere was fun.


Sister Bay was having a Marina festival that night so after dinner we walked across the street and watched the sunset and then settled in for some fireworks in the bay.

Door county has many light houses to tour.

This was our balcony off our room at the B&B

Our last day we went to Penninsula State Park. They have some great bike paths and hiking paths. I think it was the best bike path I have rode. It was through the forest and along the coast. I would say it ranks with my favorite bike path in Frisco, CO.

We rode through the park to a very popular beach at

Nicolet bay and took a swim. It was a very relaxing day!


This was our last trip for this assignment and it was a good one! We have just a couple of things left to do and then we will be moving on to explore D.C.!!
