Sunset Beach in Fish Creek

We arrived here in Door County on Friday afternoon. We did some exploring and had lunch before we checked into our first B & B of the trip. The Door County Lighthouse B&B was built in 2001 to look like a lighthouse. It has five rooms and lots of lighthouses on display and stenciled on the walls. We have the smallest room but it has its own Juliet balcony overlooking cherry orchards.


This is the land of cherries. At a large fruit stand filled with cherry products, we purchased some perserved cherries for pie and cherry jam for when we get home. We drove around much of Saturday stopping at the villages and walking through shops and along the lake front marinas. The weather is perfect with brillant blue sky, and a warm breeze. Seems to be quite a contrast to the east coast as our family there awaits Hurricane Irene. We have been checking on the predicted Cape Cod Irene event and it does not seem to be much different from our nor'easters with lots of wind and rain. Here's hoping all will be uneventful at home since we plan to keep heading west tomorrow.
