We went on a quick 4-day getaway to Door County. I was stressed about going (I know unseemly in a retired person, but still) but as the trip got closer and I got more things settled, like combo kitty care with the kids up the street and their dad taking care of the orange kitties and a veterinary student coming 3X per day to give Katie kitty her new meds. Which are somewhat in transition; initially she was scheduled to have surgery on Sept. 4th which was coincidentally the deadline to cancel our AirBNB in Door County, so we’ve been working out her palliative care since then. We even walked to the vet to pick up a new meds on Monday morning before we took off for Door County. Anyways as it all got settled I sort of slowly felt this relaxation, like I could stop worrying and go on the trip. I hope the same thing happens for our longer England trip.
I’m going to do it like a photo essay, so see captions for more.
Our first night there we had dinner at The Fashionable because it’s the same people who ran Wickman House, that we really liked, and our kids went to The Fashionable in the summer and they liked it too.
Dinner at the bar
Shishito peppers appetizer
Coffee on our first morning. We like this place called Blue Horse which is a barely 5 minute walk from the AirBNB
After coffee we walked along the street of big fancy houses on the bluff above Fish Creek.

Tiny public beach in between the fancy houses
We had breakfast at Shiny Moon cafe above the grocery and then we went and walked more in Peninsula State Park. Altogether we walked 14 miles that day.
We had ice cream and then we went to a play, Agatha Christie’s The Stranger at Peninsula Players
Cock a doo for Jasper beside the driveway at the ice cream place

Our bartender/waiter at Fashionable told us about this new place he was involved in, Inland, that was just opening and we went there for lunch on Wednesday.
Pizza at Inland. The crust was so good we brought the last three piece home and heated them up for dinner Thursday night
Caprese salad
Then we went and walked on the beach.
And White Gull Inn fish boil for dinner.
A last coffee at Blue Horse
Blueberry Danish at Sway on the way out of town
And home to cats who were actually kind o happy to have us back after they got over their mad.
