Door County

Door County has always been my favorite place to go in the summer. I have been going there since I was born. My grandparents have a house around Fish Creek so we stay there. One of the more interesting things every season is to see how many people are there. It is such a touristy place for people in the Midwest that it is packed in the summer, but in the winter no one can be found.

This is the town that I mainly shop and explore. This picture was taken in the spring which explains the lack of people and leaves. Fish Creek is funny in the way that when we come in the winter there is nothing open, but when we come in the summer people are all over with all sorts of new shops.

The sunsets here are the best part of the whole place. Every night from the deck you can see the sun setting over the lake. No two are ever the same but all of them are amazing.

In you haven't guessed I love food. Fish Creek has the most fun food. I get these doughnuts  from Singing Donuts. They are fun because you get to choose what icing and what topping you want to have. You can also pick from one of their signature flavors, like the one with Fruity Pebbles is the Scooby Doo donut. This is a newer place and I really hope it will be around for a while.

I'll be honest  when I say I have no idea what this ice cream place is called, but I think it is Dippy's Ice Cream. It's been around forever, but the ice cream is always good and given in really big portions.

This is the wall of the Door County Confectionery. The Door County Confectionery can be found in multiple places throughout the county. It has always been a great spot to go to if you want some sweets. My favorite food to get has always been the lemon drops.

 

This probably one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken in Door County. It was taken at Hide Side, which is a store in Fish Creek.

  

My grandparents live on a bluff, which is like a cliff. This means that we get fantastic views. In the summer we get to see all of the boats go by, and in the winter it's really neat to see how the snow forms patterns on the ice.

Going on a boat ride is one of the most relaxing things you can do. My family normally boats over to and island or a beach and we swim around for the afternoon. I would recommend doing this only in August or late July because the water is so cold that it is too cold for being in the water for a long period of time. 

These last two pictures were taken at the docks. This is where my grandparents boat use to be stored, but now its in a different place. I just included these because they are always so pretty and a great place to relax. 

Where is your favorite place to go?
