Home Projects Vacations

For us, vacation is kind of a relative thing...
Camping and trips to neighboring Midwestern states to visit relatives are typical "vacations" for us. We do get away once in a while, though. Vegas is cheap and if you have friends in the right places, you can even make it to the Rockies or Hilton Head Island once in a decade or so!

When the kids spend some time at grandma and grandpas, we do get a chance for some adults-only weekends now and then, but those just don't seem to come around often enough!

Door County

So, after the Vegas trips, we decided it was time to try a little slower pace for our anniversary. The Bay Point Inn in Door County Wisconsin seemed to fit the bill. After checking in, we quickly adjusted to "do nothing" relaxation mode.

The only things we had planned we're reading by the pool and a nice dinner at Christophe's to celebrate the actual anniversary. As such, we were quick to make a few drinks for ourselves and hit the pool.

After a few dips, we decided it was time for a bite to eat and headed out for Shipwrecked, a local tavern and grill that was a great little "dive" and looked like it would be good fun after the sun went down.

With the exception of our one formal dinner, that was about the extent of our daily ritual. Wake up (whenever we wanted to!), read, swim in the pool, have some drinks, and eat. Come to think of it, without the desert oasis, tigers, magicians and overcrowded Strip, it wasn't all that unlike Vegas. ;)
