799 miles
My trip odometer tells me I just put 799 miles on my car. This was because I drove up to Door County, Wisconsin and back for a week's vacation. Google tells me that 534 of those miles were spent getting there and back, which means I drove 266 miles around Door County. So what did I do?
1) Visited Washington Island. There's not much to see there, but I had a drink at Nelsen’s Hall Bitter’s Pub & Restaurant, the oldest continuously-operating tavern in Wisconsin.
2) Played golf at two courses. One, Alpine, was literally right outside my door. The course is gorgeous, but the clubhouse and general resort facilities are old and tired. The other course, Peninsula State Park's course, was also gorgeous. Neither course was at all crowded.
3) Visited five or six wineries. (Yeah, hard to keep track.) Nice way to spend a warm day that was threatening storms.
4) At at a number of nice restaurants. They were all good, but I highly recommend The English Inn supper club in Fish Creek. Try the beef wellington and the spinach salad with warm bacon dressing.
5) Enjoyed the amenities (pool, bar and restaurant) at where I was staying, the Landmark Resort in Egg Harbor.
6) Took a boat tour via Fish Creek Scenic Boat tours. Well worth the money.
The weather was great. Saturday, Sunday and Monday were cool, although each day got warmer. Tuesday thru Thursday were perfect, and Friday got hot. I also got the only rain of the week, late Friday night. So, I am officially rested and recharged.
