Antioch, Illinois/Door County, Wisconsin--Headed north to Egg Harbor

Sunday we traveled from Antioch to Door County.  It was a slow drive as we tried to follow the shore of Lake Michigan.  We had beautiful weather.  Very scenic along the shore and thru the towns.

You can see downtown Milwaukee in the distance.


Out the window from our table at Stone Harbor Pub and Restaurant in Sturgeon Bay


One of the highlights of the day was to see two drawbridges being raised over an inlet on Sturgeon Bay. Historic Michigan Street Bridge which we walked over.


Took this as we were walking over.



Newer bridge.  These two bridges are just a couple of streets apart.


Two photos below are at the Egg Harbor marina.  While on the pier of the marina, a woman caught some kind of small invasive fish (don't remember what it was called).  She threw it to a mink that was living in the rocks.  Mink loved it.  Saw it for just an instance, as it quickly returned to a cubby hole in the rocks.



Supper at the Shipwrecked Brew Pub.  Had some tasty seafood chowder and fried cheese curds.  The fried curds are a big thing in Door County.  Maybe all of Wisconsin.  Will probably find out.  They were very good.  Served with a garlic ketchup for dipping.
