Door County

Yesterday we went up to Door County. We went up the inland route. We stopped at many Goodwills including “the bins.” I think we hit most of the Good wills in Eastern Wisconsin this weekend and the full spectrum from a “Reqtiue” to an “Outlet.” We ate at a Rocky Rococo’s and a Culver’s. I wanted to eat at Culver’s as they had a bonfire s’mores flavor. Culver’s definitely places third in custard here and is nothing compared to the s’mores blizzard at Dairy Queen.

We made to Door County around 2 p.m. and went through some of the sample stores. We drove through Peninsula State Park.

For dinner, we ate in Sister Bay at Al Johnson’s. The goats were not out on the roof as the temperature was higher than 85 degrees. It was fun though. The dining room was nice and the food was pretty good. We had some tomato and dill soup and I had a meat and potato combination.

Afterwards, we drove back to Sturgeon Bay to check-in at our hotel. The hotel was not a cookie cutter hotel. It was pretty cool. It was a renovated 1953 hotel. It had modern touches, but it really looked retro. It was fun. You have to see the pictures to get a good idea. It was two blocks from the bay, so we went down there to see the sunset.

Today, we drove back to Milwaukee. We stopped at Bearcats for some salmon and Ritz crackers. I didn’t take a picture of the salmon as we were eating before I remembered to take a picture AND we ran into a Memorial Day parade. We got out of the car in Algoma for the parade. The parade had Veterans, fire fighters, two bands, and two poppy princesses. The parade lasted 4 minutes. You can play a movie of the band in the parade in the pictures below.

We stopped at a Goodwill in Sheboygan and then, ate lunch at the new Milwaukee IKEA. It was an interesting IKEA. It was all on one floor with the showroom first, then the cafeteria, and then, the marketplace.

Andrea took me to the airport around 2:45 p.m. for a 5 p.m. flight which was early enough, but now my flight has been delayed until 7:40 p.m. I now hope to make it home before Midnight, so I do not get dinged for another night in the parking lot. (I also bought some cheese which is only good for 12 hours without a refrigerator. They do not sell a single item from Door County after security.)
