Rainy Days In Door

We had our share of cool temps, clouds and sprinkles this year.  We always take advantage of these days to….Shop.  Besides, the skies can clear in the blink of an eye.

Love Verna

Naturally we headed to our favorite pet place to get a couple of more toys and see our friend Verna.

Hwy 42

We stopped in here for some treats.

Cookies were in order at

Later, Mom and Dad took a trolley ride.  Mom had been wanting to do this for years.

The route took them through Peninsula Park and although they have been there many times, the guide was very informative.

Door County Dining Guide for Hoomans

There are so many excellent restaurants in Door County.  We like to try a few new ones each year as well as revisit favorites.   For breakfast, we love the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek.  Famous for their cherry stuffed French toast, I particularly like the hash browns.

White Gull Inn, Fish Creek, WI

The Blue Horse Café directly in front of our cottage has a great view, delicious coffee, tasty sandwiches and bakery items.  We eat here often.

Blue Horse Cafe, Fish Creek, WI

Macready Artisan Bread Company in Egg Harbor is a new place for us.  The sandwiches and breads are soooooo good.  It is a must stop.

Macready Artisan Bread Co

Bayside Tavern, Fish Creek, WI

The Bayside Tavern in Fish Creek is just right up the street from where we stay.  Since we usually arrive late afternoon, it’s the perfect place to have a burger and beer.  Our favorites are the cheeseburger with fries and the Rueben sandwich.  We also met our friends here when they arrived.

Sister Bay, WI

We were delighted to dine at the new location in Sister Bay of an old favorite, Chop.  The steaks are flawless and the carrot cake?  You will never have better.  They also have an Early Dining Menu for three courses at a bargain price.  We brought our friends back here later.

Dinner at the Chop

Pasta Vino, an Italian restaurant owned by the same family as the Chop and Lure, was a new experience this year.  It relocated from Baileys Harbor to Sister Bay into the building previously occupied by the Chop.  The chicken parmesan was delish.

Sister Bay, WI

Our favorite for 2017 though was the Glidden Lodge in Sturgeon Bay.

Donny's Glidden Lodge, Door County

It had everything: cozy atmosphere, a view, great food, reasonable price, and impeccable service.

Donny's Glidden Lodge, Door County

Soup and salad bar are included with every entrée and specials are available in addition to the menu.  The filet mignon was superb.

Cocktail are a delight too.

Cocktails at the Lure, Sister Bay, Wi

Whifefish almondine is a fave although the menu includes chicken and steak dishes.  Like its sister restaurants, Chop and Pasta Vino, early bird dining is available.

Whitefish almondine, Lure, Sister Bay

Kangaroo Lake

We were able to meet our friends, Larry and Mary Lauber at the Coyote Roadhouse on Kangaroo Lake near Baileys Harbor for dinner one evening.  We have stopped here on numerous occasions for refreshments and food.  We recommend cheeseburgers, reubens, and the ribs so far. LOL.

Wilson's, Ephraim, WI

Our last night we caught a burger and a basket at Wilson’s in Ephraim.  We have been here often for their root beer floats.  Since we still had to pack for the journey home, we stopped in for a quick bite.

Ephraim, WI

Baileys Harbor

There are some we didn’t have time to revisit such as the Harbor Grille here and many more we have yet to try… Shoreline, Fireside, Bier Zot, you are on our list. ~ Indy and Lucy’s Mom #inmyhumbleopinion #wimpymustbemymiddlename #hamburgersrule

After breakfast at the White Gull Inn….

White Gull Inn, Fish Creek, WI

we took everyone on a road tour of Door County.  First stop was Anderson Dock in Ephraim.

Lesley Connor, David Jones, Wendy Appleby, Wendy’s Mom: Cellie, Mark Jay and Karen Parks…a motley crew indeed.

Mom takes a picture of us here every time we are in Door.  Next we continued to Gills Rock and Death’s Door or Porte des Mortes,  a strait linking Lake Michigan and Green Bay.  Remember, we took a boat ride here last year.

Gills Rock, WI

Indy and Lucy, Gills Rock

Mom also stopped at Gills Rock Pottery and bought this gorgeous wine cooler depicting Door County…a perfect remembrance.

Door County is abound with unique shops.  We then drove the winding road…

Down the Lake Michigan side of the peninsula we went and stopped at Seaquist Orchard to view the beautiful cherry trees in bloom and help the local economy.

Door County from a boat is a whole different perspective.  We connected with Fish Creek Scenic Tours for a ride on the Quo Vadis to check it out. (last spring’s photo)

The weather was foggy when we began…looking quite the bit like Scotland.

This is a replacement for the other blog entry.  For some reason, the pictures never loaded.  The wifi signal was very weak and Mom finally gave up on trying to post.

Indy and Lucy

One of the first things we do upon arrival is check out all our favorite spots such as the marina in Fish Creek.

Lucy

Since we were in Fish Creek, we paid Sunset Beach a call.

Frank Murphy county park close to Egg Harbor is practically deserted at the time of year we visit.

Indy

I keep on high alert anyway.

Sister, not so much.

On our way to Charlie’s Smokehouse in Gills Rock for some smoked salmon, we thought this looked like a good place for a tea party.

Naturally, we stopped at Anderson Dock in Ephraim and

We always take a walk on the pier at Baileys Harbor,

We have switched to our blue cottage in Fish Creek.  We will be staying here a few days till we start our drive home.

Java Hut

We began our day with  spa treatments at Pet Pleasures in Sister Bay.  We then went on a drive to see the countryside colors.  They are practically at peak.

We left our message as did other guests of the Linger Longer before we went on our way.  See ours?

Budda at lake house

Check out was 10 so we had quite a bit of time before our check in at 3 in Fish Creek.  Notice the fog this morning on our drive to the other side of the peninsula.

Door County

Mom and Dad wanted to stop at the White Gull Inn for breakfast.

White Gull Inn

Everyone’s favorite seems to be the stuffed cherry French toast but Dad always orders the “Nice Guy Hash” because he is and Mom orders different things as long as they come with hash browns which are the size of a small iron skillet.  They are not known to be calorie conscious on vacation.  BOL.

White Gull Inn

Door County

The fall decorations around Fish Creek are lovely and the leaf color change continues.  Mom says the camera does not show how beautiful it is to the eye.

Door County fall

We saw the goats on the roof again at Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay.

Then we ended up here.  You know what this means.  Yep, bath appointment at Pet Pleasures for tomorrow.

Pet Pleasures

Before we left home Dad designed a stencil in order to put our names on the warehouse/art gallery on Anderson dock in Ephraim.  We brought it along with our little paint pots from Home Depot and were soon in business.

Anderson Dock

Here is a picture of the dock taken last spring.

Anderson Dock, Ephraim, Door County

I saw a golden doddle and gave him the barking of his life.  His parents did not have him on a leash.  Tsk. Tsk.

Indy

Mom went to the Tannenbaum store.  She can’t resist a Christmas shop.

Tannenbaum

She didn’t buy anything there but sprung for a duck head walking stick at the Rusty Rabbit.  We would show it to you but it’s wrapped for traveling.  Totally awesome, though.  That was our day; hope you enjoyed it. ~ Indy and Lucy

We started out at our lake house and continued up Whitefish Bay Road.

Whitefish Bay Road

The fall report is that the color change is at 50%.  Everyday we see a difference.

Whitefish Bay Road

We went by our favorite park today: Frank Murphy County Park.

Lots of geese and other ducks were on the water.  We even saw a bald eagle.

It was gorgeous today with mild temps and not so windy to mess up my hair do.

Indy and Lucy

This park is never crowded and is a great place for Scotties to walk the beach.

The trees along the county road are experiencing change too.

Road by the Shallows

We stopped at an apple orchard today also.

We continued to Ellison Bay and the ferry road.

Tomorrow we have to move from the lake house to the Java Hut, our blue cottage in Fish Creek.  Big storms are predicted too.  It’s all in an adventure. ~ Indy and Lucy
