Ya know, I know people walk around on iced over lakes and drive on them but I’ve never actually SEEN that done, southern woman that I am. I saw it today and didn’t like it. Have those people not heard stories of people falling through the freaking ice? And at the end of March? Gah. No.
We made it to Lautenbach’s Orchard & Winery, in hopes of a sleigh ride but there were no sleigh rides available. Instead, we shopped for a ton of cherry products and though we weren’t hungry we didn’t let that stop us from buying a couple of (amazing) cherry donuts and a cherry soda. I should have taken that as a sign that we were going to eat way – too – much.
We wandered around Fish Creek where we saw KIDS walking on ICE and their parents LAUGHING and TAKING PHOTOS. Crazy people, I tell you, and then headed to Egg Harbor.
I was really hoping the Edgewood Orchard Gallery would be open, it wasn’t. I was even more disappointed once I actually saw the place. The sculpture garden was amazing and we’ll have to go back when there’s no snow.
I don’t know how it happened but we ended up in some girly shop, Kim’s Boutique and even more surprising we spent an awful lot of money on things we would not normally buy. It was fun and the boutique just happened to be across the street from Greens n Grains, the place I’d picked out for us to eat lunch.
Next stop, Door County Coffee & Tea, (where we bought more coffee and desserts we haven’t actually eaten, yet) and Pet Expressions (yes, we bought presents for Skeeter).
After a long, long day, we headed back to the B&B for a nap … or that’s what we were doing when I impulsively turned onto HWy 57 to drive past The Farm (darn, it’s still closed) and then we ended up almost to Bailey’s Harbor before I turned around and headed back so we could have our nap.
Such a weird vacation — sporadic cell service and by 5pm I hadn’t turned on my laptop AT ALL. I’m surprised I could nap with all of the withdrawal symptoms…
After our nap, we decided to give The Greystone Castle a try for dinner. Aye yi yi. TOO MUCH FOOD (and a whole lot of taxidermy) – 3 hours later and I’m still stuffed.
