Door County- the Sequel

Well I'm (finally) posting the photos from our wonderful trip to Door County at the end of July.  We had not been to Door County since our honeymoon in 2008 (which I recapped in my previous post:  Door County the Prequel) We went for a week and stayed in a beautiful home on the the water, just outside of Egg Harbor.  The house was great and truly a nice spot to relax.  We enjoyed the deck and the pebble beach just beyond the deck.  We had some great meals out on the town and LJ and I even enjoyed a fun date night where we re-visited some of the spots we went to on our honeymoon.  It was nice to enjoy some time with my parents and nice for them to be able to enjoy time with Henry.
Even though it was a wonderful trip, I still found myself feeling a little frustrated that we couldn't do as many things or go as many places as we would have liked too because we needed to work around Henry's needs and ever-changing schedule.  Taking a vacation with a 4 month old baby is a lot different than taking a vacation with your spouse, as we learned this trip.  I also felt disappointed that the trip felt like more "work" than I would have liked and less relaxing than I (we) probably all needed.
Still, I am so, so very glad that we did it, and I hope we can go again next year!
Loving Peninsula State Park!
