On Tuesday, we had to take the girls back home to Oshkosh.
While I didn't really want to return them and I knew I was going to miss them so much, it was time.
If I keep them too long, their mama and papa won't let them come back again!
I counted the days for Tiz and told her that she had been away from her home for ten days, it was high time to take her home again.
After dropping them off and saying our sad "Good byes," John and I headed up to Door County for our second annual New Year's Eve celebration at The Landmark.
Since it had been so balmy the last few days, we were really looking forward to some warm temps for hiking. We took our snowshoes in hopes that they would also have some snow, but no only was there no snow, the temps plummeted and it was 10 degrees with wind chills of way below zero.
We are tough though and we did not let those temps hinder us.
On a side note, we ate at Fazoli's in Appleton on the way up and we ran into Jay Storm, my old principal in there. It was good to see him and visit with him again.
When we got up here, we started out at Peninsula State Park.
We actually climbed the Eagle Tower. I am so scared of those towers, but I found the courage to do it.
We also hiked up an old ski hill, it was a very steep climb, but we made it.
Here are some photos from that visit.
We checked into the Landmark.
I found a condo on VRBO for $144.00 for two nights, such a deal.
Here are some photos of our condo.
Tuesday night we went to JJ's of Jacksonport for dinner.
It was yummy as usual.
We slept in on New Year's Eve day.
At noon, we took off for Gill's Rock.
It was even colder than yesterday, but we were determined and bundled up so we pressed on.
We also hiked at Whitefish Dunes State Park and Cave Point County Park.
The water was splashing so high with the big winds.
Here are a few photos.
We were able to see a beautiful sunset at Whitefish Dunes.
Perfect way to end our hiking.
Our reservations at the Carrington Pub and Grill are at 9:00.
It was that or 5:00. I was worried we wouldn't be able to stay awake, but we are going strong at 8:00 so we will make it.
This brings an end to my post for today.
Happy New Year to all.
May God bless 2015 with joy, peace, and love with just enough trouble thrown in to keep you close to him.
