Installment Ten

Every year we visit Anderson Dock in Ephraim.  There has been a dock here since 1858 when Norwegian immigrants constructed the first one to aid in exporting local products such as cedar and salted fish.

Anderson Dock, Ephraim, WI

Mom loves to takes pictures here because the old warehouse now the Hardy Gallery is such a colorful backdrop.

This fall Indy and Lucy will be among the names you see.  See how snoopy we are.

Indy and Lucy

We like to take one day and drive around the peninsula, go to our favorite places, check for changes, here a sniff, there a sniff.  In looking for the place we are going to rent this fall, we stumbled on this.

Door County  Barn

Love the barn quilt patterns but often the barns are too far from the road to photograph without a telephoto lens.  Remember, Mom only has an IPhone.

Fish Creek Scenic Boat Tours

Mom and Dad took another boat ride around the Fish Creek area and Peninsula State Park.

Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, Peninsula State Park, WI

Eagle Bluff Lighthouse… one of the 11 in Door County that have saved countless lives and guided ships to safety.

Limestone bluffs of Peninsula Park, Fish Creek, WI

The limestone cliffs and caves of Peninsula Park are part of the Niagara Escarpment, a geological formation most famous as the cliff over which the Niagara River plunges at Niagara Falls, for which it is named.  Cottage Row, exclusive Fish Creek realty, could be viewed on the way back to harbor.  Often called Millionaire’s Row, this strip of shore side has been one of Door County’s most preferred addresses for the past 100 years when Chicago leading tycoons, magnates, and robber barons left their grand mansions on Prairie Avenue and established equally elaborate ones for summer on the shores of Green Bay.

Sunset viewing always gathers a crowd in Door County.  This one is from the Shallows Resort in Egg Harbor.

Dining in Door

Installment Nine

We arrived later than usual because of the GPS incident; you remember?  Not having eaten on the road, the peeps were starving.  There was a place up the street from our cottage that Mom wanted to try.   It was perfect: reubens, cheeseburgers and sweet potato fries.  In fact, they ate there several times during our stay.  It was a cozy, kick back sort of place.

Fish Creek, WI
Bayside Tavern, Fish Creek, WI

The Blue Horse Café is a great place for breakfast or lunch and right out our front door.  It’s got a view of the bay inside and outdoor PET FRIENDLY dining.  Menu includes breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well as bakery items and gourmet coffees.  Dad loves the ‘Meatzilla’ and Mom’s fave is the bacon cheddar biscuit.  Jalapeno biscuits were a hit this year too.

Blue Horse, Fish Creek, WI

The White Gull Inn, also in Fish Creek, is known for its famous cherry stuffed French toast. Mom and Dad had a few breakfasts there as well as lunch with friends.

White Gull Inn, Fish Creek, WI

Fish Creek is listed by Forbes as one of the 15 prettiest towns in America.  This historic B&B contributes to it.

This year a new restaurant, LURE, opened in Sister Bay which is a little over 8 miles up Hwy 42 from our home base in Fish Creek.  Seafood is its specialty and the peeps met Lesley and Bill Connor from Pennsylvania and the Australians, Mark and Wendy, for dinner on its opening night.  Naturally, the oysters made it a must for Mom but Lesley’s whitefish almondine looked so good Mom made a return visit to order it.  She went to a fish boil (very popular in Door) our first year here and got an unfavorable impression of the whitefish.  Now thanks to the culinary expertise at the Lure, she’s a fan.

The owners of the LURE are also responsible for another of the peeps’ favorites, the CHOP.  They ate there several times but don’t have a picture.  However, word is that the carrot cake is the best you can get.  Thumps up if you got them to everything on the menu, Mom said, plus they got to see Elli Lapolla, part owner and  waitress extraordinaire.  Door County is truly about family businesses.  There were a couple of pet friendly places we didn’t get to this year: the DC Deli in Baileys Harbor, Coyote Roadhouse on Kangaroo Lake and the Harbor Grille in Baileys Harbor only once.  There are still many places to try and others to revisit.  Mom is making her list for fall.

Installment Eight

We were lucky the cherry trees were in bloom this year.  This is the third year we have seen them.  One year it was a cold spring and they were not blooming yet.   It is a glorious sight.

Cherry orchards of Door County

Lautenbach’s  orchard and winery are favorites and the honeycrisp apple wine is delish.

Lautenbach's Winery, Hwy 42, Door County

On the EE, Door County

This is Mom’s favorite spot to photograph the cherry trees.  It’s over by Applewood Cottage on the EE.

Trillium

The woodlands are carpeted with this lovely perennial, the trillium. as well as these forget me nots.

Forget Me Nots

We take a picture in front of these tulips every year.

Sometimes we cooperate; sometimes we don’t.  BOL!  Did you notice we have cherries on our collars?  🙂

Door County in May is a second spring for us. We love it there. ~ Indy and Lucy

Our friend, Mary Lauber, organized a boat tour during Rally weekend.  On Sunday, 13 humans and 3 Scotties (we were not among them) motored to Gills Rock at the tip of the peninsula to catch the launch.

Shoreline Charters.

Here are Australians Mark and Wendy ready to board.

Installment Three

A little ways past the Shallows Resort is Frank E Murphy county park named after one of the early entrepreneurs of the Door County peninsula.

Frank Murphy County Park, Door County, WI

It is a lovely, crescent, sand  beach fringed with trees.  It’s probably a busy place during high season but virtually deserted when we stop by.

Indy and Lucy, Door County

We like to sniff along the beach and wet our toes in the bay.

Lucy

Sister felt a need to tidy up the place.

Lucy

She is so helpful.

Whitefish Dunes State Park protects the fragile dune environment of eastern Door.  We paid it a visit next.

Lucy

You would not believe the size of the chipmunks.

We have on our Gentle Leaders here. It helps us to walk on lead better than a leash attached to our collar or harness.  Brother is terrible about pulling.  This eliminates it completely.  Next on our travels was lunch at the Harbor Grille in Baileys Harbor so Mom could have some oysters.  Harbor Grille has outdoor dining and a dog menu. 4 Paws up from us.  Located on the Lake Michigan side rather than the bay side, it is cooler.

Indy

There are many piers for viewing the water, boats and birds of Door County.  We have loved sharing another beautiful Door County day with you.  Rally coming up tomorrow. ~ Indy and Lucy #doorcountyparks#baileysharbor#harborgrille#doorcounty

A Day In Door

Installment Two…..

Java Hut at Blue Horse Cafe, Fish Creek, WI

This is our cottage in Fish Creek, WI behind the Blue Horse Café.

Door County

This is our breakfast view from the café.

Fish Creek Beach

We always spend the first day visiting favorite spots, taking pictures, that sort of thing…

Pet Expressions/Door County

Our first stop is Pet Expressions, the ultimate in pet accessories and gifts.  Believe us, Mom would have been here yesterday on the way in except for the two hour mishap.  Verna has the store stocked with the ‘best in Scottie’.  She donates 10% of her Scottie sales to the Door County Scottie Rally as well as individual items to the rally auction.  “Thanks, Verna.”

Indy and Lucy

The shop is pet friendly but we like to bench sit in the shade with Dad because it usually takes awhile.

Indy and Lucy, Egg Harbor, WI

We checked out Egg Harbor next.
