"Oh what fun it is to ride..." to the beautiful scenic areas of Door County. I'm so glad that we were able to meet with Alice, Darren, Lucy and Elaine for lunch before they were leaving Door County for home. I'm just as glad to introduce them to the Inn at Cedar Crossing in Sturgeon Bay. We had a great time talking and enjoying the food.
To our surprise, it was Darren's 39th birthday. So he really is 39 and holding. After lunch we headed towards Sister Bay where we would stay at the home of Charlene Rice.
Since we knew Tuesday was going to be a beautiful day, we loaded up our bikes and headed to Fish Creek to take our annual nine mile bike ride through the Pennisula State Park. And indeed it was a perfect day for a bike ride.
And in Fish Creek is one of our favorite restaurants, Julie's Cafe. One breakfast dishes that I really enjoy is their fresh spinach omelette.
Wednesday was another nice day, so we decided to work around Charlene's home and get her ready for the winter season. Gary drained the hoses and swept out the large garage while I took care of taking the patio deck furniture off and swept the smaller garage. Then with Gary's help, we stored the patio furniture in the smaller garage.

Since we knew that Sister Bay was going to have their annual fest, we took Thursday to do shopping. Like going to the Door County Bakery and gettin their delicious homemade breads and goodies to take home to family and friend. Then off to one of the stores to pick up some delicious homemade strawberry and rhubarb pies. Jan wanted some vegetables dips, and I knew Ann-Marie would just love some chocolate covered caramels. And who doesn't want some nice cold apple cider.
Friday was a full day. We had arranged ahead of time to meet our dear friends, Dan & Judy Waggoner at Wilson's Ice Cream Shop for lunch. They had been to Door County for the first time this year a few months earlier...and they only live about two hours away.
One of the main event I always enjoying going to is to the Peninsula Players. Dan & Judy also love seeing plays. They themselves have been in several themselves. At the park they always have a nice roaring fire going. And since the evening was cool, we did enjoy the warmth of this fire.
Dan & Judy waiting for the play, The Panic to start.
All through the park our carved pumpkins. It really gives a great atmosphere to a scarey play.
Dan had a friend tell him that he must have breakfast at The White Gull Inn in Fish Creek. He was to order..
the french toast stuffed with cherrie and cream cheese, plus their special breakfast potatoes. A full order was way too much as Gary, Dan and Judy found out. I had order a half order. It was like having dessert for breakfast. But because the place was so popular, we had to wait for about an hour before we got sitted. It was worth the wait and we were all stuffed when we left. We were even able to take some back for Charlene to enjoy.

When we got back we played Squence and I also taught Dan and Judy the game, Golf. A game my sister Linda from France had taught me. Then it was time for Dan and Judy to head home. Time does fly when you are having fun with friends.
One early morning, I grabbed my camera and took a walk up the hill towards Sister Bay. What a beautiful view you can get while walking. The above photo is one I just loved.
Like all vacations, you know that they will go faster than you want and before we knew it, it was Sunday and time to head home to Rockton. I did get a photo of the sunset as we neared home.

Thankful once again for a beautiful time in Door County. Enjoyed the beauty of God' creation, friends and a safe trip home.
