Wild cherries, bike rides, lake views and more. Take a trip to Door County, Wisconsin and see what they have to offer. With only 3 days I got a great taste of a little bit of everything. Almost every town in Door county has a beautiful harbor. There is many lake activities to partake in. Whether it be swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, parasailing and more. Door County is well known for it's cherries. Besides cherries being a delicious fruit they also have many health benefits. Many athlete's drink tart cherry juice for it's many benefits including muscle recovery. Visit Peninsula State park and see the light house. Also take bikes and go around the park through the woods.
Lola's bakery and restaurant has a great breakfast. I enjoyed the corn beef hash which was simple but very flavorful.
Cave Point County Park has some beautiful sights. If you want to see the great outdoors this is the spot to go. Take a kayak and you can get up close to the caves. Malibu Moo's has delicious and fresh custard. I got a chocolate cherry custard. The cherries were sourced locally from the county. If you didn't know this already but I really enjoy good food. Hope to see you in Door County!

The Sea Lion is a nice little hike in Thunder Bay. It has some steep spots but is very doable. My family went up to visit my brother in Thunder Bay, ON.
Pictures above is Silver falls located at Silver Falls Provincial park. This was a really neat spot to hike to. We were lucky enough that the trail was not flooded out.
Pictured above is me in the Botanical garden. For a small garden it was really neat. Lots of tropical plants and some huge cacti. The food above is from is from Apple Chipotle's. It was the feast for two but we shared it between four and we could barely finish it. Everything was delicious though. This platter include a variety of their meats and sides. If you want to try lots of things at their restaurant I recommend it.
While in New York City I went to the Top of the Rock. Which is where the photo above was taken. It is 67 stories up. Going out onto the outside balcony it was rather windy and I felt like I'd fly off of the balcony. On 5th Avenue I had to check out my favorite designer shop, Henri Bendel. I even got to sign my name on their graffiti wall. More pictures from Henri are below. It was raining the day we were on 5th Avenue. I went to Mood fabrics which is where they get fabric on Project Runway. I wish I could buy all of my fabric from them. Their selection was amazing and the staff was very helpful. While exploring China Town and Little Italy we stopped at Cafe Palermo to get some coffee and Italian cookies. The coffees in the picture look much bigger then they actually were. They were really little. The picture below was taken in Washington Square park. One of the last things we did was go to The MET. It was really neat to see all the different styles of art. We didn't have much time but it was neat.
That delicious gravy covered stack of cheese and fries is what the Canadians call Poutine. At almost every resturant in Canada you can find poutine or a different type of poutine. The following resturants mentioned are all located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
The Red Lion has great food prepared with fresh tasting ingredients. I've had their Maple Cheddar burger which had a sweet and tangy sauce on it that was extraordinary. (Pictured to the right) The atmosphere of The Red Lion has a cabin vibe. There is often live music there and there is always board games that you can play. These are just a few of the restaurants I have been to in Thunder Bay. If you have any questions about the resturants I mentioned above be sure to comment below. Thank you!
