Aunties from Idaho visit!

I survived finals week with only one minor meltdown. It gets a little better each time :) I am very proud of my "report card" this semester: 3 A's and 1 B. Yeah!

Last Saturday Skott's two aunts from Glenns Ferry, ID came to visit for a week. We picked them up at the airport in Minneapolis and shopped at the Mall of America the rest of the afternoon. The following morning we got up early and went north to Door County. It was a beautiful weekend.... a little windy, but not too bad! We stayed at a great motel in Bailey's Harbor with an amazing view! One of the things we love about Door County is that north of Sturgeon Bay, there are no "chains" -no chain restaurants, motels, etc so everything is local, mom and pop owned. The people at The Beachfront Inn were SO NICE! This view was right out our room:
We had lunch (including sweet potato fries and cheese curds) at Julie's in Fish Creek and had to get pics in the big giant purple chair outside:

We also went to the Cana Island Lighthouse. It was very windy that day! Aunt Joyce and I climbed all the way to the top.
A view from the top:

The week was filled with lots of fun: breakfast at Al Johnson's where the goats eat on the restaurant grass roof, wing ding in Chetek, visiting antique school house in Hixton, going to the Amish store, and lots of laughs and catching up. It was a great week! We are so glad they visited.
