We had a great vacation. My advice is to spend no more than 2 days on Washington Island. Relaxation is great in small amounts! The stars are awesome, and the water the clearest I've ever seen (but I'm not a world traveler.) Back on the mainland we had so much fun - shopping and going to a fish boil (see flames below), a haunted trolley tour, an ostrich farm, mini golfing, biking in a state park, buying everything cherry (wine, salsa, BBQ sauce, chocolate covered dried cherries................), walking along the marinas and checking out the names of boats, checking out lighthouses (we went to 2 of the 10 in Door County - see one below). We had breakfast at Al Johnson's, where they have goats on their grass roof - see below! We went to an awesome antique store/architectural warehouse - I could live in their back room full of old metal fences, stained glass windows, old tile, reclaimed mantelpieces...........beautiful! I also found, of course, cookie cutters!
When we returned home, my boyfriend's mom gave me a set of cutters that had been his grandma's; some of which were the same as I bought on vacation. So now I have inspiration from several grandmas! I'm honored!
I've ordered some new cutters as well inspired by the trip - lighthouses, dolphin, seagull, seahorse, anchor, starfish, shell, angel fish, bee, beehive............ I'm baking them today and should have pics later this week.
