Getaway in Sturgeon Bay

We typically have a week away in Florida sometime in March or April.  Dennis and Phyllis Allsop have built a new house and are moving so we won't visit them until the fall.
Since we didn't go somewhere warm and enjoy the beach, we went to Door County instead for three days.  
We climbed Eagle Tower in Peninsula State Park and enjoyed the view on a beautiful sunny day.
It sure is a different view when the trees are bare. 
I liked the view with the pine trees against the dark blue water. 
I commented that rebuilding Eagle Tower and making in hanicapped accessible had to be a huge undertaking and the cost had to be astronomical!
We visited the Maritime museum.  This is the view from the 10th floor. 
Here's the view out of the window of our little rented cottage.  
Since it was St. Patrick's Day weekend, there was a parade in town.  We attended for a little while but when the parade is not with people and businesses I know, it just doesn't hold the same interest.  The tower was lit up for the occasion.  
It was a wonderful few days away from everything and just being together.  We went to all our favorite shops up and down the peninsula looking for the perfect pieces to display in our new bathroom.  I found some nice things but nothing that I felt I had to have.  
Sunday morning we made the 2 3/4 hour trip to Adams-Friendship for their ward conference.  A long drive but so worth it to be with those young Rice boys.  Only two in the Primary on this day but what great boys they are!
