Door County, Wisconsin - The Hotel ...

We heard so much about Door County that Mr Man and I decided to go there for our vacation this year.  

(Camping in Duluth was out, due to all the flooding, as they closed the State Park. We were hoping that Miss Precious would be able to come and experience camping. Oh well there is always next year)

Mr Man booked the hotel and he told me all about it ... It has character, is older, but clean, and it gets high marks on "Trip Advisor" (his fave). I always tell him "As long as we are together, I am good!"

We traveled 6 hours by truck with our bikes in tow. The Holiday Motel was to be our home for the next 6 days ...

Yup, that is Mr Man's truck and our bikes :) Mine is the white one ....

The chairs were so nice to relax in at the end of the day. People watching is fun too!

The Lobby made me laugh when I saw it .... A Christmas tree and presents? Well, the place IS called ... The Holiday Motel :) And, who doesn't have a Raven on the top of the Christmas Tree?

It didn't take us long to realize that this was a very "Artsy" area. The picture behind the desk, of the woman, was by an artist that had paintings all over town. (Even on buildings!)

They had an old telephone booth closet that was now empty but you could write on the walls showing that you were there. I never did get around to doing that, although I wanted to. I did sign the guest book, maybe that counts :)

Breakfast every morning was complimentary and this mini retro diner was to die for. In order to make your breakfast you had to be behind the counter and it made you feel, at first, as if you didn't belong there. You could sit at the bar or at the table on the left. Sooo cute ....

One had to be very QUIET though, as down the hall there could be people sleeping.  Shhhh!

On the counter was a small fridge that held all things cold that you might want. I thought the word magnets were such a cute touch.

We had a corner room on the 2nd floor that looked out to the sign. I liked that! It also had windows on both walls and the cross breeze was the bestest ever! The temps were in the high 70's and gorgeous.

The furniture in the room was metal and even though the phone looks like it is a rotary one, it really is a push button. The red against the sea blue painted walls really popped!

There was an 8 track player on the top shelf that actually worked. The music wasn't something that we would listen to but it was fun to reminisce.

Gotta love the bathroom, although the photo is really bad grainy. :) Most of the things in this hotel were original. In the bathroom ... I believed it!

Dinner with Mr Man was across the street from our hotel, looking out toward the lift bridge on Sturgeon Bay. This restaurant was really hopping that night, and I took this photo along with the rest of the water pics, after the place cleared out a bit. Gosh, I love this man!!!

Such a wonderful first day .... and now to get some sleep ... with our night light :)

Hugs,
