Lets do that agian!

Matt & I had a swell weekend in Door County. We stayed with the Green Bay Krings Friday- and had a wonderful dusk dinner on their patio. It was great to see them!

The next morning we got up and drove up the Door County Pensula, stopping to see Al Johnson's famous grass roof - complete with four real live goats who live on top, and keep the grass trimmed. We also stopped to pick ripe 'sour' cherries on our way to Washington Island. After a ferry ride to the island, we set up camp at the only campground on the island after a ferry ride to the island. We made a yummy vegan dinner of 'hobo packs' with Setain and stewed freshly picked cherries!

Sunday morning, we went on a long run to the East side of the Island where we were greeted by flocks of egrets and cranes. Once we returned to camp we streched, ate, showered, then left for an afternoon of hikeing. We caught another ferry to Rock Island where we hiked for the afternoon, and toured their lighthouse. After an afternoon of activity we found the local bar, and sat down for happy hour. Get this, beer was 50 cents!!! (well it was happy hour from 3 to 6- we were very happy). Plus the bar sat next to the wheat feild that produced the grain of the brew we were consuming! Had Matt 'watered' the feild the way he wished, the wheat would have completed it's circle of life!

Yesterday we sadly packed up and headed home- tired, but happy!

Pre Vacation note-- a half hour before we leave the cat starts howling and acting like he is in great pain. We - like the responsible pet owners we are- to the furry thing to the vet for the weekend..

Post Vacation note-- It cost FOUR times as much to spring the kitty from the vet. (Anyone want a cat?)

It's amazing how the littlest things can cost SO much when it's a pet that's being treated! It truly is like having a kid.

PS - Glad you had a great camping trip. It's too hot here to camp until fall now, but I'm looking forward to it.
