Beach day?

Image
  A beach day in October...sure why not!!?  We loaded up the car and cooler and head to Neshotah.  The weather was crazy unseasonably warm, not warm enough for us to swim but still pushing mid 80s and the beach breeze was wonderful!  The cooler was full of snacks and drinks.  We set up the big umbrella, ate a charcutier and read the afternoon away.  On the way home we headed towards Manty and the Warf for some live music before walking over to the wine bar for some cheese curds and a drink.  It was Sputnikfest so the whole downtown was alive.  Pretty good "staycation day"

Spontaneity Kit Spawns

  It was almost noon when Amy suggested we head to DoCo. The coming days were forecasted to be disgusting humid, heat wave, gravy making weather so quick trip to the cooler lake breezes of the peninsula seemed like a good idea.  After last years door county cherry experience we opted to pack our own for the car ride up.  We had no real plan, but headed first for the beach at Peninsula Park and dipped a toe in the lake and watched a young family navigate multiple kids and sandy towels; before heading for the park trails.  We hiked a short distance on Sentinel Trail and took the ramp up the new tower.  Amy overcame her fears, but we still took the stairs down.  Being Sunday we didn't know what time the towns would start closing down and decided to head back to Fish Creek for some shopping and a bite to eat rather than push further north.  As we wandered the streets and boutiques Amy suggested we hit the Whistling Swan for a cherry bourbon smash, and well...

basic Saturday

Pretty normal Saturday, the air was clear after multiple days of Canadian wild fire smoke and it wasn't showing signs of oppressive heat.  We had coffee on the patio and played the various words games before heading to the farmers market.  We scored some blueberries, Amy had a horrible brown sugar shaken espresso and we split some stuffed chicken wings.  We wander the market and ultimately the trail back towards the car, stopping off at Fox harbor's patio.  We split some fries and each had a drink as we discussed plans for the rest of the day.  It was pretty windy on the water so we nixed kayaking and instead drive to Dicks and bought Amy a set of golf clubs before heading to the TR par 3 course.  She worked out the kinks on the range and broke in her new new gear on the links.  Easily making par on the first hole.  It is a nice course and had the right amount of challenge for us. A few sausages on the grill to round out th...
