Sturgeon Bay ~ Door County ~ WI,

Romance, Sight Seeing, and FUN, A Wonderful Place To Get Away, Even if Only for a Day!


r


As you cross this bridge, your cares are taken away as you are swept into a place of exploration, fun and romance.


 



I had the pleasure this weekend of the sweetest birthday surprise I have ever had, to Sturgeon Bay, Door County, WI.  It was my first visit, but it is certainly not going to be my last!  The weather was perfect and the autumn colors were phenomenal. 


There was so much to see & so much to do! 


Camera in hand, I tried to capture as much as I could!  Of course someone else's vacation photo's are never the same to look at, so I will keep them to a minimum!




I love climbing rocks and taking a moment to soak in the view!


From Bungalows to Bed & Breakfasts,... 

(we stayed at The Inn at Cedar Creek,  where we were treated like family and taken care of like royalty).



From horseback riding to wine tasting tours,...

We went to Kurtz Corral ~ it was WONDERFUL, and I had a blast the trainers were fantastic, the horses were beautiful!

Tasted many varieties of wine at the
Red Oak Winery & Vineyard
and the Simon Creek Vineyard & Winery.



From hiking through the woods cheese, bread & wine in tow (bought at the  Madison Avenue Wine Shop) to strolling through the shops of all varieties and artisans.  When you go there, don't forget to go up to Cheese Cake, etc!, Sister Bay, Door County, WI.  They have the Best Cheesecake in the world!




If you are looking for a place to get away any time of year,

Sturgeon Bay, Door County WI is the place to go!

Only hours away from Our little ol' South Central WI!

Woot Woot ~ looks like it was a fantastic time.  I had me one of them, too :))))))  I suppose I can look it up, but how far away are you from Wisconsin Rapids? AuClair?  That's where my husband is from.  Glad you had a good time.  You'll find that getting older is a lot better than the alternative. :)

Laura, first, a belated Happy Birthday.  Second, thanks for the great information on Sturgeon Bay.  It's been years since I've been there - maybe next time I come back to the midwest, I'll come grab you for the day and we can head up there and explore all the wonderful shops and restaurants together.

Hey Gary, it was a blast!  Can you believe I went horse back riding?  Now you can call me cowgirl!  LOL!!!  I have a bunch more photo's that were really fun to take!  I'll share them with you all little by little.  So, how about those Rangers?  Yeah!!!

Hello Craig, it was fun.  I sampled a lot of wine, cheese and some amazing breads.  You would have loved these breads!  I found this place that had real cheesecake from New York!  YUM!  And the horseback riding through the woods was wonderful.  Absolutely my favorite part of the entire day weekend!

Thanks Sharon, my camera was working overtime this weekend!  The fall foliage was beautiful, the sky brilliant blue, the water like glass in most parts.  I'll have more photo's coming soon.  I am so glad I finally (only been waiting 30 years) got to visit Door County WI!

Oh through the eyes of a stager!  LOL!!!  I knew you would pick up on that Sharon T!  That was the most adorable room,.. of course you and I would make several changes!  :)D

Charles my friend, bring M on up and we'll show the two of you the town!  I think you would love it!  Like your little neck of the woods there are many artisans and specialty shops.  We would have a wonderful time!

Good Evening Dorie, I did really enjoy all the sight seeing and horseback riding.  What a beautiful place Door County WI is!  Great people and a lot of fun!

Well Mimi, if you mean Eau Claire, WI I am about 3 or 3 & 1/2 hours south east.  It is the same distance from Sturgeon Bay, Door County WI!  Now if you want to know how far Eau Claire WI is from Door County, it is about 2 hours due east.  I think I am actually enjoying getting a little older,... for now anyhow!

Joanna, the colors were glorious!  Now me on the other hand, thank you for the sweet compliment, but no make-up, hair pulled back and my clothes are two sizes too big,..... but who cares?  That's me and I am getting pretty okay with who I have become.  Life is good isn't it? 

Julie, that would be absolutely wonderful!  Do you like antiquing?  There is wine tasting, a place called Chelsea Antiques up in Sister Bay (near the cheesecake place), plus wine tasting, there is the Potter's Guild of Door County,.... plus did I mention wine tasting?  :)D

Oh Amy, don't be green with envy!  I'll be happy to take you up there when you come visit.  We would have a wonderful time.  Do you like horseback riding?  Because I really want to do that again.  Oh did I love that!  That photo of me cracks me up!  My clothes are two sizes too big, no makeup and my hair pulled back.  But hey that's me in all my usual glory!  Now, go talk to Roger and see when you can get up here!

I love horseback riding, and you are absolutely adorable in that photo!  Your clothes being 2 sizes too big is much better than 2 sizes too small ;0)   And All Natural is in Baby!  I'll talk to Rog.... we are due for a family visit in Burlington soon anyway, might as well make it a "Trip"!

Awe Amy thank you!  I can't wait till these clothes fall to the floor!  LOL!!!  It would be amazing if you guys could come up! Do you think Tanner could horse back ride too?  I know Destiny would LOVE it!

Good Evening Michael, ha ha, you never know what disguise I will have next!  Keeps things exciting.  And thank you, I still can't believe I was chosen at first place with all those amazing videos!  WOW!!! 

Ellen, I cannot imagine you doing it with anything but style, grace and elegance!  So,... just how long are we talking?  :)

Shar, did I forget to mention that today?  Of course I posted photo's!  I'm thinking it would be fun for a bunch of us girls to meet there and have a long weekend!  Do you think a few might be up for that?  Just think of it, shopping with no one saying; "are you ready yet", horseback riding, wine, chocolate,.........

Laura, that sounds like the perfect birthday surprise to me.  I've been to Sturgeon Bay a few times...Door County is absolutely gorgeous.  My buddies and me used to travel from Chicago up to Shawano for white water rafting and lost weekends in town with the locals...GREAT memories.

Oh Shawano WI, whitewater rafting is such a blast Nick!  We used to do that regularly.  I miss it a lot and you know what?  Destiny (my little grand daughter) is old enough now to go rafting!  I do believe that is something I'm going to put on my calendar for next summer.  Glad I could stir up some great memories for you.

I did have some fun Kristine.  I especially loved the horseback riding and wine tasting.  I haven't been on a horse since 1997!  Can't believe how easy it was to get back on.  Never felt more comfortable. 

Thank you for the birthday wishes David.  I am happily looking forward to the next 5 sets of perfect tens!  Can you believe I won that contest?  I am still absolutely shocked!  I suppose I ought to be reblogging that post ha?  I have learned the bloopers are easy to keep coming!  LOL!  xo,L.

Maureen, you would have loved this trip!  Each small town is filled with wonderful artisans.  There was hand blown glass, stained glass, ceramics, jewelry, furniture, cheeses of all assortments and the best breads I have ever tried.  It was wonderful!
