We're in Door County, WI, or "up north" as most Wisconsinites refer to anything "north" of where they are currently. We actually made pretty good time, 2.5 hours. No traffic or construction to deal with so the drive was rather nice.
It was wonderful to see grandma so excited. She's never been here before so to see her reaction to all the clean greenery was great.
Our hotel is nice and we have lots of room, he beds are nice and big, the fridge keeps cold, and we have a table an chairs. We played cards for a few hours and laughed our butts off. It was nice. Reminds me when I was little and the three of us (dad, grandma, and I) went on vacation.
After we checked in, we went to find lunch. The only thing we could find were sandwich places so we settled on The Cookery. The place was completely rebuilt after last year's fire. None of us have ever been there before and we liked the atmosphere and the decor. Dad and Grandma had a Ruben sandwich and I had a cheeseburger. The burger was so-so. A little dry, short on the tomato, no sauce of any kind, no onion. Meh. Even mine are better and I haven't figured out how long to cook burgers.
We rested, went for a walk, went for a drive around the little towns and in the evening went to Pelletier's for a Fish Boil. I was hoping dad and grandma would at least be OK with it, but they actually liked it. Dad was even surprised at himself at how much he liked it. I was too. The fish is Lake Michigan White Fish and it has a subtly sweet and mild flavor. Yum.
After dinner, we played card for a while. It was fun.
