We went on a quick 4-day getaway to Door County. I was stressed about going (I know unseemly in a retired person, but still) but as the trip got closer and I got more things settled, like combo kitty care with the kids up the street and their dad taking care of the orange kitties and a veterinary student coming 3X per day to give Katie kitty her new meds. Which are somewhat in transition; initially she was scheduled to have surgery on Sept. 4th which was coincidentally the deadline to cancel our AirBNB in Door County, so we’ve been working out her palliative care since then. We even walked to the vet to pick up a new meds on Monday morning before we took off for Door County. Anyways as it all got settled I sort of slowly felt this relaxation, like I could stop worrying and go on the trip. I hope the same thing happens for our longer England trip.<\/p>\n

I’m going to do it like a photo essay, so see captions for more.<\/p>\n

Our first night there we had dinner at The Fashionable<\/a> because it’s the same people who ran Wickman House<\/a>, that we really liked, and our kids went to The Fashionable in the summer and they liked it too.<\/p>\n

We had ice cream and then we went to a play, Agatha Christie’s The Stranger<\/a> at Peninsula Players<\/p><\/div>\n

Pizza at Inland. The crust was so good we brought the last three piece home and heated them up for dinner Thursday night<\/p><\/div>\n
