Took a drive around Door County today - up Highway 57, the Lake Michigan side. Stopped at the Sandpiper in Bailey's Harbor for lunch and had some very good fried whitefish. A very cute little town, but all of the towns up here have been so cute! From there we continued up the peninsula stopping at Gills Rock to check out the scenery and a couple of gift shops. The water was very rough, with huge waves. Went further north to the end of the peninsula, Northport. There is a ferry that goes to Washington Island but had been told that it really wasn't worth the time or money to cross so we didn't do it. Did get out to stick my toes in the sand though. Traveled back down the peninsula by way of Highway 42, through Sister Bay, stopping again to see the harbor. Big, beautiful boats, harbor was full, wonder if it was because of the rough water? Stopped at Grandma Tommy's Gift shop near Sturgeon Bay and wanted some cheese but they sold Renard's Cheese which was on our way back so going there! On to Renard's Cheese, near Brussels. Had to sample "Cheese Curds" they do squeak on your teeth! Bought some cheese with cherries and salsa cheese, very sweet girl working there, had us sampling whatever we wanted. All in all - Door County is a beautiful place to come for the summer!

When global warming arrives to the Door County area of Wisconsin, I'm looking for property! I think owning a fancy waterfront RV Resort would work just fine for us.
