Door County - "Babymoon"

The last weekend in April, Pete and I decided to go to Door County for the weekend and have a little "Babymoon" as i hear they're called!  We actually realized this was our first trip since our honeymoon (almost 4 years ago!) that we went somewhere ALONE! No Hahm or Cooper brothers along, just us two, so it was really nice!
Friday
Checked in at the Blacksmith Inn on the  Beach around supper time. Weather was in the 50's all weekend but it was sunny! We went across the street for fish at the Cornerstone Pub which was amazing!
Saturday
We had every thought of sleeping in, but were both up and wide awake by 7:30/8:00. So much for that! We decided to go to Fish Creek and drive around a bit and decide what to do. We ended up going to Peninsula State Park and drove through that. We did climb some 75 foot tower to look out over the area which was pretty. Once again, it was a little chilly though so we didn't do any hiking, not that i really wanted to :) we went downtown Fish Creek and did some shopping. To my surprise, Pete actually was excited about it (or did a good job acting like he was!) and we went to a few chocolate shops some miscellaneous other stores as well and had a great time! We ate at Bayside Tavern since we heard they had great food, and they did! Then we stopped at a little area with a few stores such as a baby store and "Trendy Tails" so of course we got Izzy a new toy and leash which is awesome!! https://wackywalkr.websitesource.net/ I highly recommend this leash. Izzy hated it the first day but she has the hang of it more now :) We stopped at a baby store as well and were looking around. The lady there was showing us a million things.
A few things I need to purchase still that we found at the store were:
Sophie the Giraffe http://www.amazon.com/Vulli-Sophie-the-Giraffe-Teether/dp/B000IDSLOG 
Then Pete wanted these baby papers, so we purchased these as well. http://www.peapods.com/browse.cfm/baby-paper-polka-dots-crinkle-toy/4,1849.html
It's actually pretty neat...it's cloth and when you crinkle it it makes the sound of paper which we all know babies love!
After shopping we realized it was only early afternoon so Pete suggested we drive up to the tip where the ferry picks you up to take you to Washington Island. We missed the ferry by 30 min but the drive there was pretty!
We went back to our place and sat in our Whirlpool tub for awhile and then took a nap....AMAZING! i love naps lol. For dinner we went to White Gull Inn which was DELICIOUS. They had homemade bread for an app at the table, we each got a salad and then I ordered Duck with rice and mixed veggies and Pete got lamb with potatoes and veggies. Both were amazing. After, we went to an ice cream place in town and headed back to the room!
Sunday
We got up and headed back to Fish Creek for breakfast at Julie's Cafe. I of course got waffles with strawberries. Any breakfast food i can get strawberries or raspberries in is a win/win for me! I believe we were on the road and back to Sheboygan by 2:00 or so.

It was a great weekend and i'm glad we decided to go away, just the two of us, one last time before the baby comes :) While we were up there, Pete was looking at all sorts of resorts asking me to take pictures so we can remember to come back with our baby someday...i think someone is getting really anxious for Baby Hahm to make his/her arrival!!
Our Room, love the nice big bed and patio!

Pete surprised me with a dozen roses when we got there!!

Of course i took a pic of the bathroom...i work at Kohler, and they were NOT Kohler appliances :(
