Here's our vacation as a couple. On June 11th, we spent 1 week in Door County - which is sort of like the "thumb" part of Wisconsin that sticks out into Lake Michigan. Very, very relaxing - weather was perfect, sunny & 70's, 80's every day. We rented a cabin on the beach - the Lake Michigan side, near Jacksonport. For the first couple of days, we just stayed at our cabin and went down to the beach. The water's still very COLD. Paul got in and swam for about 10 minutes on Tuesday. We took a few walks on the beach, however, I am not as fast as I usually am due to the additional baby weight! There were some huge Carp (1 1/2 feet long) that swam up to shore and freaked me out - Amee - what do you think? Icky, but very interesting to see them come up so close.
We found that we really enjoyed the city called Fish Creek and the Peninsula State park is beautiful - we scoped out some great campsites. We went and saw a comedy/musical at the State park's ampitheater called Guys on Ice. Hilarious - now I really know what a Wisconsin accent sounds like. More relaxing stuff - we taught ourselves how to play Backgammon a little bit better by looking at some library books, it's partial luck of the dice and a touch of strategy - lots of fun. Paul did lots of crosswords and I worked on my easy sudokos.
On our last day, we kayaked in Ephraim's Bay - it was so nice being on the water as it was extremely HOT that day. Also, on our last day, we experienced a Door County Fish Boil - that was great. Overall, was an extremely relaxing vacation... which is just what we needed before the arrival of our "mini".
