Door County

On Saturday Brent took me to Door County for the day! We had a wonderful day, enjoying each other's company, the cold and windy outdoors, great food, and fun little shops.

After passing through Sturgeon Bay (note to friends visiting Door County: be sure to stop at the Visitor's Center when you first get to town, before the bridge, open 24/7. It has GREAT info regarding absolutely everything about Door County, including all the special events going on each and every day. VERY HELPFUL!) and getting into Door County itself, we first went to the county park I was able to visit last fall. It was still beautiful!
Sitting on my favorite little ledge overlooking a shallow pool of water.
My friend, LaVonne, and I "discovered" this hole in the rock last fall. On Saturday we must've been there at high tide, as the water came right up to it!
The lovebirds, practically IN Lake Michigan!
We continued around the peninsula, stopping at fun shops, eating at "Shipwrecked" (a restaurant in Egg Harbor that was a favorite hang-out of Al Capone's!), and finishing our day at a fun wine and chocolate tasting at Door Peninsula Winery!

Thank you for the wonderful day, Brent!

Looks like fun. Glad to know that Door county is just as beautiful the spring as it is in the fall. Were the blossoms finished or still in bloom? We go up june 12, want to visit again with us? Thanks for sharing. Any advice for us?
