Door County - June 2024

 Another year. Another Door County, Wisconsin adventure. This year Jill brought her granddaughter, Aiyana, on the adventure. This will be a post in photos.

We stayed at the same place as last year, The Liberty Lodge in Sister Bay. There is a lovely view of Green Bay.

Jill reserved rooms on the front veranda side.

The Lodge serves a lovely breakfast, has a fantastic gazebo, and large grass yard. Here I am with Aiyana.

The real draw of Door County are the beaches on the Lake Michigan side. We were fortunate to get to hang out at Mary and Roy's place right on the shore.

A sunset on the Green Bay side. No Canadian wildfire smoke this year. Yay!

Jill signed us up for pottery throwing. It was challenging and fun.

The pottery place has a menagerie of arts and crafts projects.

We visited the Cana Island lighthouse which you can climb up inside. This was a first for all of us.

Yes, there is a replica (wooden) statue of Lady Liberty at Liberty Lodge.

We took the car ferry over to Washington Island. The ferry's name was "Madonna."

Lavendar fields on Washington Island.

Cherries in Door County.

I had no idea there were so many varieties of cherries.

We went to the percussion camp at Birch Creek Conservatory again this year. Free concert by the students and instructors.

Fields and barns everywhere on the peninsula. 

A dramatic sunset in Ephraim.

This photo has been modified to remove unwanted items (a car and some wires). The house in the background is where the staff stay.

There are these beautiful white and black pelicans.

The famous "goats on the roof" at Al Johnson's in Sister Bay.
