I have a big birthday approaching quickly. I'll be turning 30! I'm not dreading it. In fact, I'm totally fine with it. When I turn 40, it might be a different story.
Any way...Mike asked me what I'd like to do for this special event. I don't want a big party. That I know for sure. I did decide that I want to travel somewhere for my birthday gift. I'm quite realistic and know that we can't afford to fly to Mexico or California for a quick weekend get-away so I started looking at locations that we could drive to.
I've heard fabulous things about Door County Wisconsin. Here's where I need your help. If you've been there, please let me know where we should stay and what are a few things that we should do while there. We'll be going this fall sometime if that helps with suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

Door County... I will ask my brother and jess they go there every year.
never been to door county, but heard it's awesome! you could always do a weekend trip to chicago too. that is FUN city, but i'm not sure what kind of trip you are looking for. lots of stuff to do in both locations, just different kind of stuff. i can't believe it's the big 3-0. you and lucy will be sharing a big bday this year :)
Door County is great. Bill & I went there last year for our Anniversary. It was April and so not many things were open for the season. We did a lot of sight seeing and stuff. We stayed in Sister Bay at the Church Hill Inn. It was very nice and the breakfast was wonderful. We had a GREAT dinner at the Inn at Kristofers. The English Inn is so neat and the food was good. We stopped there because we were a little bit hungry, well don't go there if you are just a little hungry. The food is great and you'll want to eat. Also, we had breakfast The Cookery. WONDERFUL. I guess they had a fire though so I am not sure if they will be open. As you can tell we ate A LOT of good food but the shops are great also. They are all over the place so I am not sure of their names as we went to so many. Anyway, stop by the Church Hill Inn's website. They have a lot of great info. Good Luck and let us know how is goes!
I LOVE Door County and the fall is the best time to go. The leaves are beautiful throughout. I can't remember where we stayed, but I will say you can bike through the national park to the tip of the penninsula between Lakes Michigan and Superior, roughly 10 miles, and I HIGHLY recommend spending an afternoon doing that. It was beautiful and pretty cool to stand between the two lakes. There are also several very good wineries in the area that I encourage you to visit for various tastings. And on the drive there you could side trip to Lambeaux field if you've never been. It is somewhat of a national landmark. I do have a cousin who flies there several times a year (private plane for pleasure) so let me know if you need names of places and I can get that for you. Can't wait to hear about your visit. I hope you go in Oct. It's breathtaking with the changing colors.
