I have been hearing that some couples go on a babymoon before the baby comes… kind of like a honeymoon. So we went on a quick weekend getaway to Door County here in Wisconsin. For my out-of-staters… Door County is the peninsula of Wisconsin. It is a very hoppin place in the summer time and the winter is their off season, but that didn’t stop us. We just wanted to get away with just the two of us and relax and take it easy.
We stayed at this little bed & breakfast place. Now it wasn’t your usual bed & breakfast. We didn’t have to eat breakfast with people we didn’t know. It was just cozy and the breakfast was there for us to come get when we wanted… and it was just normal – muffins, boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt, cheese. I’m on a huge lemon/lime kick right now and they had lemon poppy seed muffins that were to die for! I should of ate two, but I was too embarrassed. I was hoping they would be there again the next morning, but it was bananas! Oh yum! I ate it anyways and you know what – still got a leg cramp. Now I really don’t have to eat those nasty things! ; ) Jesse kept telling me it was an apple muffin – there was no apple about it! I know a banana when I see one!
Here is the view from our room. We are on the Lake Michigan side.
This is was our room. It had a very rustic feel to it.
Our first night there we decided to go to a fish boil. We had never been to one. They boil potatoes and fish (and tons of salt) in this big pot. They throw kerosene on the fire at the end to boil the pot of water over so all the fish oils boil off. It was quite the show. And it wasn’t a bad meal. Again, very rustic! Just boiled potatoes, a couple slices of fish that you had to debone yourself! I was kind of grossed out by that and was not very good at it.
Oh and it was not warm out! This guy was in a t-shirt but he was also right next to a big flame of fire to keep him warm.
It snowed while we were sleeping!!! About 3”! Ick! But it didn’t take long for it all to melt. It ended up being a pretty warm day and the snow was gone by the afternoon.
Saturday afternoon we decided to go to the other side of the peninsula which had a town that had lots of shops… most which were closed but enough were open to keep us entertained for the afternoon. On this side the water was still frozen.
I have to tell you one of the items we bought. We bought a front door mat that says “Dog is Nuts”. The instant we saw it we knew we had to have it. Now I no longer have to warn everyone who comes in the front door – they had their warning before they even knocked!
That was about all we did. Eat, sleep, eat. Jesse said he has never taken so many naps in one day. I love naps… so it was right up my alley!
And my girls are telling me they are not getting enough belly pictures. That I am making them wait too long for new pictures… so um… here you go girls… *giggle*
Can’t you see it? I’m starting to bust the buttons off that jacket! Oh and that little man in the middle… that’s Flat Stanley again. He came with us.
