Our First Weekend Away

This past weekend Mustang and I went away withOUT Buttercup.  (A big shout out to the Kenley family for keeping her and loving on her all weekend.  Thanks guys!!!)  Where did we go you ask?  Well, read further and take a guess (or if you are a punk, skip to the end to see)!

Highlight #1 of the trip - a bike ride through a beautiful park!  (Thanks to Deeds for borrowing us a bike and bike rack!!!)



Highlight #2 of the trip - climbing the 'Eagle Tower'.


Highlight #3 of the trip - a sunset sailboat ride.  We both thought this was also a 'tour', but nope it was not.  This experience, although a highlight, was definitely not something either of us would put on a 'must do' list.


Highlight #4 of the trip - ice cream, gelato and more ice cream!!  My favorite stop for ice cream was Wilson's.


Highlight #5 of the trip - wineries.  We found a new favorite red, Marechal Foch.

Highlight #6 of the trip - lighthouses.  We visited 2 lighthouses and the second was this beauty.

 
We were able to climb to the top.  Up the winding stairs.  Through a little hatch opening.  And then to the outside where it was very windy!




Highlight #7 of the trip - fudge and hats.


No Buttercup did not make a surprise appearance on our first weekend away.  But I snapped this today and couldn't resist posting it, besides it also shows my cute new cap!

Highlight #8 of the trip - I learned about these rock stacks and Mustang and I made our very first 'I was here' rock stack!




Highlight #9 of the trip - The Mission Grill.  (Thanks to the Kenig's for that recommendation!)  I could write a whole blog post just on the deliciousness that is the food you are served at The Mission Grill. 

Highlight #10 of the trip - our first experience staying at a Bed & Breakfast.  2 thumbs way up for the service and food at the Eagle Harbour Bed & Breakfast!!

It was a great and wonderful trip to............DOOR COUNTY!!!!  Thanks to hubby for all the planning and researching you did.  A big thanks to all the friends that offered up suggestions and insights as well and a special thanks to Mrs. G - I don't know you (or if you go by Mrs. G) but thanks for giving my hubby ideas and suggestions and helping him with his research. 

Hope you enjoyed a peak at our vacation!
