Door County, Wisconsin
When I told my husband about all the fun things my mom and sister and I would be doing in Door county, WI, he started calling it “Bore county.” I guess visiting art galleries, cool boutiques, and antique shops, while enjoying beautifully scenery and weather just didn’t appeal to him. But, it sure did to us!

Door county is a skinny peninsula in northern Wisconsin which sticks out into Lake Michigan. The surrounding water creates mild weather and great growing conditions. Which explains the plethora of gorgeous flowers we saw.
The peonies were huge!
And there were many other flowers to enjoy, too.
All the quaint fishing villages are now quaint little homespun villages with mom ‘n pop motels, restaurants, and shops. None of them have stop lights, and they’re all easy to investigate by foot.
Here are my mom and sister at a gallery with graffiti all over it. You can pay for a little pot of paint and add to it, if you desire.
The weather was delightful and we enjoyed being pedestrians each evening as we strolled past flowers to dinner, or to watch the sunset, an evening ritual.
It was NOT boring!
