Door County: An Adventure to the Mid-West's Cape Cod While in Door County we caught a glimpse at the biggest catfish I've ever seen!
This is a view from the State Park observation deck.

Baily's Harbor has the most remarkable shop that featured textile arts.
I purchased a set of hand woven coasters for the tables in my living room.

The goats that reside on the roof of the Al Johnson's restaurant are as real as you and I!

The Swedish restaurant served up the best pancakes and lingonberries we've ever eaten.

The car ferry took us from North Point to Washington Island.

It was a day to remember! We visited the island, had a wonderful lunch made of organic

ingredients at The Washington Island Inn, and visited a unique art gallery

and coffee shop, The Red Cup.

Although we were tourists each time I think about visiting a new place and meet new people
I am reminded of a question I was asked by a Professor of Theology I studied with in college.

I was having a particularly difficult time in my life and he presented me with a question he requested I really give some thought to.

Life is a precious gift. Are you going to live it as a tourist or a pilgrim?

I did give his question a great deal of thought and concluded I want to be a pilgrim. To live life to it's fullest I believe I must choose to experience life not stand by and watch.

This blog site is hence dedicated to living life fully!

I'd like to say hello and begin this new adventure by sharing a little bit about this past week.

Hubby and I packed our bags and took a trip to Door County, Wisconsin. It was a fantastic opportunity to relax, play, and discover a beautiful part of Wisconsin's landscape.

As a teacher I will be returning to begin a new school year very soon. This trip was a wonderful way to enjoy the last bit of summer freedom and spontaneity.

It is so necessary to balance and peace of mind to take time to relax, take in nature, and rejuvenate the spirit.
