So - I mentioned last week that Chicago-daughter and I took a little road trip
- a girls weekend -
to Door County, Wisconsin.
I don't get out to Chicago to visit nearly as often as I would like to
(love visiting that city!)
but this time, we opted for a little get-away.
The town of Fish Creek is situated on the Green Bay side of the peninsula -
we did a little shopping and meandering -
mostly meandering...
and enjoying the whimsy.
Driving along the coast,
we found charming lighthouses,
still a little Fall foliage,
(which I made Chicago-daughter pose in front of)
and a beautiful coastline that I suspect many of my East Coast friends would find
a bit surprising.
And that's not to mention the apple orchards, wineries and fantastic cheese
(Yes, Vermont, you have a rival there...)
I'm always a little sad flying out of Chicago,
and this time - a little more so.
I'm happy to say that Chicago-daughter plans to head back East at the end of December,
but the Midwesterner in me loved my occasional Heartland fix.
And I am so glad we decided to take this little trip.
I recognized 3 of your photos. I'm glad you had a nice time there it's my favorite spot in Wisconsin to visit. I'm glad you got to have your Heartland fix :))
ReplyDeleteThe only time I've been to WI was to Lake Geneva for a conference. It was October, I recall, and just lovely.

Chicago is a beautiful city and the area is very pleasant. I go there to visit my Chicago daughter who will probably spend the rest of her life there.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like a fun getaway! The trees look beautiful and it seems like there's a lot to see while strolling through Fish Creek. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, and you have a lovely daughter!
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty! Beautiful daughter. Looks like a lovely getaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty scenery - it does look very much like New England with the autumn colors and watery views. I love that panther on the wall. Your daughter is lovely. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteI loved the whimsy, the quaint simplicity of the lighthouse, and that coastline says New England more to me than Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteYour lovely daughter has your smile.
A very pleasant post Karen!
Looks like a great weekend you had, your daughter is pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful times to remember and a quite fetching daughter you have. Guess that means you won't be coming my way any longer....drats!!
ReplyDeleteI love that she's your Chicago daughter. She's beautiful and your pics are too. :)
ReplyDeleteChicago Daughter is Gorgeous...Fish Creek is lovely and quaint, wonderful shots. .
ReplyDeleteRoad trips are always fun and even better with family.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a nice road trip to take.
ReplyDeleteAs for Chicago, I love it in the summer...it's so cold in the winter! We've had to walk backwards it was so cold when visiting in the winter. :)
First, I must say that you have a lovely daughter! I have always wanted to visit Door County, Wisconsin and your pictures make me want to go even more! Just beautiful! Twyla
ReplyDeleteThat's how I feel whenever I go back home (well, my first home, anyway) to California. I'm glad you had a chance to get your midwestern fix. What a lovely photo of your daughter, who is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks like a brunette version of you! She's beautiful. That trip was awesome - so many scenic landscapes.
