So as I look back at the many pictures from our little getaway recently,
I can't help but smile and remember this special place.
I think I'll call it one of the best kept secrets as far as vacation spots in the U.S.
My husband and I started coming up here before we adopted Grace, so this
was a first for our two littles.
There are quaint little villages that have Norwegian, Icelandic and French Canadian influences,
that have names like Egg Harbor, Ephraim, Fish Creek, Sister Bay, Bailey's Harbor
and others.
We stayed in Ephraim which is known for it's views of Eagle Harbor off Green Bay,
and it's charming white buildings and stone fences.
You can see why Door County is sometimes called the 'Cape Cod of the Midwest.'
(At historic Anderson dock in Ephraim, WI as the sun is starting to set).
Some of our favorite parts of the trip was our time at Wilson's Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor,
swimming twice a day, the beautiful sunsets, delicious tart cherries, perusing a few antique shops, the food,
seeing the lighthouses, wine tasting and watching the sailboats on the bay.
The best part...spending time with the people I love the most, my husband and Grace and Will...just us.
Looking forward to returning again soon, someday!

Okay, I do have to say that our lake isn't nearly as beautiful! We vacationed in Door County years ago - my boys thought they were at the ocean :- it was so gorgeous! I can't wait to go back!
