We wandered to Michigan with one Grandma and then shortly after journeyed to the other side of The Lake with another Grandma and a Papa.  Traveling with grandparents is something my husband did as a child, but I never did.  I am beyond thankful that Jack and Abby will have these awesome memories.   Door County is a beautiful, beautiful place.  Tons of opportunity for adventure.  It’s on the touristy side of things, so to avoid the hoards (if hoards bother you) I would recommend going during an off-peak time. We hit it after school started, but before the Fall color – seemed like good timing. I only had to photoshop out two background strangers 🙂  If you go, definitely allow time to take the ferry to Washington Island.  Totally worth it.
