10 activities to do in Door County, WI

Enjoying the first day in Door County!

A couple of weeks ago, my family and I did our annual July family vacation to honor the memory of my father. This year we decided to go to Door County. You know wine, peninsula, and the lake. What could be better?! That was the same thought I had! After that much needed time away, I have compiled 10 things you either need to see, do, visit, or experience!

Let's get started!

1. Newpoint state park

• Go late at night as it is one of 53 International Dark Sky Parks. You can see the Milkyway, go late and bring bug spray! 

2. Washington Island

• So much to do on the Island!! Lavander fields, Rock Beaches, Lookouts, and old churches!

On the Ferry to Washington Island!
