The Ninth Day of the Road Trip

So we stayed at home last night.  Saw a few neighbors, and when we told them we were still on our trip they kind of laughed but they know us so weren't really surprised.  We took the car rental back and headed north towards Door County.  Took the freeway to Manitowoc, had a little lunch, then kept going along the coast.  We hit all the small towns--Two Rivers, Algoma and such.  We finally reached the peninsula and hit the towns like Egg Harbor, Ephram, Fish Creek.  Quite the difference from the hustle and bustle of Nashville and Indianapolis---especially on a Monday.

We took a room at The Settlement.  An old fashion motel lodge kind of a place.  Huge room, fridge, sofa, just like the olden days.  They said heated pool, but I was suspicious.  Figured it was heated by the sun.  Wrong---whole outdoor pool just to ourselves.  Very relaxing.  We went into Egg Harbor and had a nice meal, and then walked down to the  waters edge and watched the sunset.  Just a real laid back day. 

I need to tell a quick story here....The Mrs. was driving, and we were listening to some radio station from Sturgeon Bay.  An ad comes on, and the guy says "Hi, this is Graham Harrell, quarterback of the Green Bay Packers".  The Mrs. says "What?  Who is this guy?  He isn't the quarterback of the Packers.  Aaron Rodgers is".    Laughing like a crazy man......

Well we are just about set to wrap this thing up.  Gonna spend some time here in Door County tomorrow,  then head for home.  We'll see what else we can come up with, then it'll back to reality---well kinda.....
