To the Door and Back Again

We just arrived home last night from a week in one of the most gorgeous places in America.... Door County. For about 13 summers now we've spent at least one week in the Door Peninsula. It's a place where we all sort of "rediscover" ourselves, and we always return home refreshed and ready to tackle another year of work and life. This summer we were there from the 23rd through the 30th... so for the next few posts I'll have to share some photos and some "Door Time" with all of you!

Door County Days - Part 2

Sailing + Sunsets = SMILES!



One of the best things we did while in Door County is charter a sunset cruise on a classic double-masted sailboat. The day had been cloudy but just as we set out, the weather cleared on the horizon and we were treated to a gorgeous sunset. It was probably the most relaxing thing we did all week. There is nothing like the quiet of a sail to make you just want to lean back and grin!

Boys are all the same when it comes to playing in the sand!


Ed and all the kids together in the Door.

Our family considers Door County, Wisconsin to be one of the truly most beautiful and relaxing places on the planet. After foregoing our trips there for the past 3 summers, we decided this summer we needed to go back. We picked the very last week of the summer before we all have to return to our school duties. Gretchen and Leon spent the whole week up there with us, and Katrina, Nate, and the boys were able to join us for the first weekend. It was so much fun to be all together in a place very dear to our hearts. The weather was gorgeous... a bit toasty the first couple days but not enough to stop the fun. The beaches were crystal clear and warm. We made some great memories together.
