Whitefish Bay Farm B&B, Door County, Wisconsin

Is this not the sweetest little face you've ever seen?! The very cute B&B where we stayed. Our room was upstairs on the left. The house was built in the the early 1900's. When the innkeepers bought it they had to move the entire thing! It was 10 feet too close to the road according to the county. They then spent years rehabbing and it just beautiful inside! I can't begin to say how much I adored the sweet sheep at the B&B! I particularly bonded with this one. I think her name was Octavia. The innkeepers have 140+ sheep and they all haves names! They wear coats because they are being raised for their highly valued (due to the beautiful color!) wool. The coats keep them nice and clean. The sheep without coats sadly have another fate. Octavia let me scratch her under her chin and she just snuggled right on into my shoulder like one of the cats might do! We spent a good deal of time with them out in the pasture, and I think I could have spent all day!
This is one of those situations were you don't really realize what a potantially dangerous situation you might be in until later...when you're looking at the photos! We visited Cave Point and the signs let us know that there were "dangerous conditions." There were no guard rails, nothing to hang onto (unless you count the slim birch tree we grabbed!) The caves were breathtaking and the water was so powerful. There had just been storms so everything was very choppy and rough. The waves slammed against the caves walls and we could feel the earth rumble below! I made sure to wear my proper hiking gear of flowy skirt, tank and flip flops! And the story wouldn't be complete without mention of the abundance of mosquitoes and biting black flies. Good times...


On our second day, we hopped in the car and just drove... pulling off the side of the road when something caught our eye. We took a ferry to Washington Island, about 8 miles away. We ate lunch and then went exploring. We found the Farm Museum which had a fantastic collection of old farm equipment and machinery. (Dad, I think you really would've liked it!) In the above photos you can see Farmer Tina working hard to pump water from the well as well as overflowing with glee as she waters the garden! We'd spent a lot of time in the sun...and Ash and John, I suspect that travelling as a couple you have your share of dorky photos as well! xoxoxo

And who would have ever guessed we'd see a llama strolling the streets of Fish Creek, Wisconsin?!
