A few highlights from the weekend! It was so nice to get away for a long weekend on the Lake Michigan shoreline in Wisconsin!

Thursday

  • Arriving at our vrbo and loving the location and cute little cottage! The cottage we rented (in Wisconsin, near Sheboygan) was right on Lake Michigan. You could see the lake from the living room, and hear the waves in most of the house! The main house had a kitchen, dining room, large living room, bedroom, and bathroom, and the other building had bunk beds.
  • Dinner at Milwaukee Alehouse in Grafton. AHHH it was so weird to eat inside with other people. It felt safe, it just feel wrong the whole time, because we hadn’t done it in six months. The food was delicious though!

Friday

  • Getting up to watch the sunrise with Steven, then going back to bed. I’m so grateful we got one pretty sunrise, because it was cloudy, windy, and rainy most of the weekend.
  • Running in Harrington Beach State Park.
  • Exploring downtown Sheboygan – sweet treats from Victorian Chocolate Shoppe, lunch at Field to Fork, shopping, and drinks and treats at Whisk.
  • Touring the Kohler Design Center and imagining having a high-end bathroom.
  • Walking on the cordwalk in Kohler-Andrae State Park. The views of the lake and dunes were stunning!
  • Walking around Quarry Lake in Harrington Beach State Park.

Saturday

  • Lunch at Fork & Tap in Port Washington. The A-Roi Fries were delicious! We dined inside and there were less people and we were more spread out than Thursday night, and that felt better.
  • Checking out the shops in downtown Port Washington. I found a few fun gifts!
  • Getting compliments on my new cloth face mask. Donuts!
  • Making a fire and sitting by the lake. Ha, we got rained on sitting out there, but we wanted to enjoy the water, and we did!

Sunday

  • Skipping my run to sleep in. Ha, okay, not so much a highlight as necessary – the bed at the vrbo was smaller than what we’re used to, and a different firmness, and I woke up sorer and sorer each day. It didn’t make sense to force a run when I felt so stiff.
  • The waves dying down, the cloud clearings, and the sun staying out… for a minute. I’m glad we got to see what the vrbo is like when the waves aren’t so crazy.
  • Twisted Plants in Cudahy for lunch. So good! One last vacation gut bomb! What are we going to do when it’s too cold to pick up food and eat outside?!
  • Arriving home and seeing the kitties!
  • Taking an epsom salt bath to soothe my aching body.
  • Being home!
