Door County Recap, Pt 2

What we did: 
~ Fruit Picking:  If you're in Door County from June to early August, it's cherry season.  And no trip would be complete without a trip to the cherry orchard.  If it's late September you can visit the apple orchards.
~ Wineries:  We went to Door County Peninsula Winery, where they specialize in fruit based wines.  They have a huge selection and you can have tastings of anything you like.  They also have a distillery where they produce their own vodka.  Their sister winery Simon Creek Vineyard is located down the street and specializes in grape based wines.
~Peninsula State Park:  We biked the sunset trail for a couple hours, you can rent bicycles, boats and mopeds in the park.  And lounged by the beach.
~ Sailing:  We chose a charter by Sail Door County.  Which was both relaxing and reasonably priced.
~ Skyway Drive-In:  For $7 you get to enjoy 2 movies and an abundance of snacks.
~Golfing:  At any of the numerous golf courses, driving range, or mini golf locations.

Where we stayed:
~Door County Lighthouse Inn.  For our first B&B experience, this was fabulous.  The owners, Claire and Frank, were the sweetest people.  They were so helpful and Claire's breakfasts are delicious!

Where we ate: Places we would recommend-
  1. Wilson's Ice Cream in Ephiram
  2. Wild Tomato in Fish Creek
  3. Pasta Vino in Ellison Bay
  4. Julie's Cafe in Fish Creek
  5. Bistro 42 in Carlsville
  6. Door County Bakery in Sister Bay

Door County

We're off on vaca. One of the 3 that are coming up, (NYC in September & Hawaii in October)The only thing I'm not looking forward too, the 6 hour drive.  Please note, myself and road trips do not mix well.  Door County festivities include: cherry picking, sailing, summer festivals, bon fires, bike riding, light house tours, drive-in cuddling, and of course eating.  Have a great rest of the week!
