Sturgeon Bay for Robin's Birthday

January 3 is Robin's birthday. For weeks we've been discussing the need to talk about our finances & just touch base on a whole number of financial topics...fun huh? Well, I had this brain storm...let's determine to have a Financial Summit. Let's make this summit meeting fun so it's not a big drag. So I decided to couple the Financial Summit with a getaway trip for Robin's birthday. Robin will have to weigh in on how she felt about sharing her birthday trip with a Financial Summit, but I thought it worked out great....so here's the story.

Thursday, Jan 1 2009, we headed north to Sturgeon Bay in Door County for two nights. We stayed at a beautiful Bed & Breakfast, The Chanticleer Guest House.

We stayed in the Grand Suite, with a big jacuzzi tub, 4 poster king size bed, wood burning fire place, couch, rocking chair, table & chairs for breakfast....very nice.




This fireplace was wonderful. We had it burning whenever we were in the room...







Here we are on our sleigh ride! Beautiful sunny day and a brisk 20 degrees.



A woman at the Candleworks Shop (where Robin got to make a candle) told us of an awesome hike. We went to Cave Point on the Lake Michigan side of the peninsula & hiked about a mile south to Whitefish Dunes state park. Along the way we saw the most awesome display of nature...the dolomite caves carved by the water, with ice spears & flows all over....amazing in a beautiful sunset.
