To celebrate six years of nuptial bliss, Jenelle and I ventured north to Door County, for a one-night stay at The Blacksmith Inn on the Shore” in Baileys Harbor. It was a lovely bed & breakfast right on the “main drag” (Highway 57).
With the weather on the cold side and a lot of stores not opened for the peak tourist season, we spent most of our time relaxing in the room. They had free popcorn (which was really good) and a large selection of DVDs. We watched North by Northwest, an old Cary Grant film. I also found an edition of Groundhog Day with special features that my version at home doesn’t have, so we took in the deleted scenes and a couple of other things.
For dinner, we went a bit further north to The Inn at Kristofer’s in Sister Bay. Jenelle had the halibut, and I had chicken roulade. For dessert, we split a chocolate baked alaska with caramel topping. All quite delicious.
On Sunday morning, the actual date of our anniversary, we woke up to see snow covering the landscape, notably the pier leading out to the lake.
We would have liked to spend more time outside, especially on our private balcony, but it was too cold. After a breakfast that featured blueberries, muffins, cereal, juice, and milk, we traveled back to Kenosha. The roads weren’t too bad.
The toughest part was arriving at home and having to clear out several inches of wet, heavy snow. While it wasn’t the most exciting anniversary celebration, it was great to spend lots of quality time with my sweetie.
