Home

Well back from Vacation and put the grandkids on a plane to Florida to spend the next two months with their mom. Missing them already.

We had a great time starting with getting to Egg harbor, Wi in Door county in time to take the trolley tour to see the light houses their including the government ones open once a year to the public.

I always thought that lighthouse had one shape--Door County lighthouse sure helped change my mind. The two boys that keep showing up in pictures are my son and grandson.

We stayed in Egg Harbor and it is their 50th Anniversary of being a village. What better way to celebrate than having 50-2 feet metal eggs all designed differently placed through out the village. When I get those picture downloaded I share some.

After we moved to Chicago, we used to go camping every summer at Peninsula State Park, my mother loved the scenery up there, it reminded her of Estonia, where she came from. It's probably a bit more built up now then it was then, but what a great time we always had. We'd go down to Sturgeon Bay once in a while for a big fish dinner :) Peter's grandparents lived in Traverse City, the Michigan side of the Lake--they have a bunch of beautiful lighthouses in that area too.

Looks like you had a great time!

Surprisingly the park is still as it was. Camping, bike trails and the theater in he center of it is the only real built up area. It just surprises me at the number and the shape of the lighthouses surprised me.

I always find it amazing how different the parts of Wisconsin are. Thanks for looking. Pat
