One of My Favorite Places


One of my favorite places to go while in Door County is School House Beach on Washington Island.

You have to take a ferry across a part of Lake Michigan called Death's Door. It was given that name long ago because of all the shipwrecks that happened in that area.

The ferry ride is always fun and only takes about 30 minutes.


Once you drive your car off of the ferry, it is a short drive to the beach.


The unique thing about the beach is that, instead of sand, it consists of millions of smooth stones.

The stones are so interesting to look at, play with, and lie on. It would be fun to just take a few home. But there is a $250 fine if you are caught stealing one!

Better check J's pockets....I bet he stole some rocks anyway because he's thinking they would be great hot spa stones for the next time he pampers you with a back massage. :)

Allie looks like such a beach bum with her LONG blonde (!!) hair. People pay a lot of money for those highlights!
