John and I took a long weekend to celebrate our 40th anniversary in Bayfield.
We had not been up in this neck of the woods since we were first married, so it was time to come back and explore this beautiful part of Wisconsin.
We left on Friday morning.
Ate lunch in an A and W in tthe tiny town of Philips. Everybody knew everybody, well, except for us.
After lunch we headed to Copper Falls State Park.
Note to self:
Next time take mosquito spray, those suckers were fierce and take water, it was hot even in the woods.
Other than that, the falls were beautiful.
Here are a few photos:
We left Copper Falls with more than a few mosquito bites and checked into our condo in Bayfield.
It's a nice condo located on the Port Superior Marina.
We ate at Pier Plaza in Bayfield and loved it.
We had a trout and whitefish fish fry which was yummy but the best part for me was the drinks I had.
It was a bayfield bubbly which was moscato, raspberry liquor, and some cranberries for garnish.
Oh my goodness, that was one good drink.
After dinner we bought some more wine for a night cap at the condo.
On Saturday we took our bikes to Madeline Island on the ferry.
It was a gorgeous day, perfect for a 12 mile bike ride to Big Bay State Park.
After our ride, we enjoyed lunch at Grandpa Tony's and then we walked around the Island.
We took a ferry back and got off just as it started to rain.
We enjoyed another delicious dinner at an Italian Restaurant called Ethel's at 250.
I had spaghetti and meatballs and John had baked spaghetti. That and a few beers made for a terrific dinner after a day of biking.
Today, Sunday, we took a three hour tour of the Apostle Islands, luckily, we returned safely and did not end up like Gilligan did on his three hour tour.
We met some nice people, learned a lot about the Islands, and enjoyed a wonderful cruise. The weather was perfect again.
After we got off the boat, we had lunch at Pier Plaza again. We had whitefish sandwiches, I just cannot get enough of those whitefish, so yummy.
After lunch we took a little drive along the lake and then bought a pizza to have here at the condo.
Another great day.
I am looking forward to driving home through Mercer and Minoqua and reliving some happy memories from times there.
