For eighteen summers my family and I have been packing up the mini van and heading north to the lovely area of Door County Wisconsin. It’s easy to say that place has become my home away from home. Some of my favorite memories growing up have been of my family and I running around the beautiful up north peninsula. I can’t count the number of times I’ve told people it is a place you must visit. It is somewhere that never gets old for me, and a place I will keep close to my heart. Maybe it’s time I actually explain what makes Door County one of my favorite places on earth.

1. The scenery

I’ve driven up and down the shores of Lake Michigan for years, and I still get my breath taken away. Door County follows along Lake Michigan, so you constantly have a beautiful lake view. The small towns make you feel right at home, along with the amazing skylines.

2. Peninsula State Park

For every summer my family has spent up in Door County, we have camped in Peninsula State Park. Some summers we have even found ourselves going up more than once. We have been camping my entire life, and no matter where we go, or how many other campgrounds we try, we always find ourselves coming back to this one.

3. The towns

You know you are in a great place when you walk in and it already feels like home. I know each town like the back of my hand, and you will too with the amount of times you feel drawn back. They are all family friendly, with their own charm that brings a smile to your face. Along with that, the towns people are as sweet as can be, so ultimately it is win win situation.

4. The Door County Cherry

The name is self explanatory. Door County is known for their amazing cherries. I guarantee even if you aren’t a fan, you will be dying for some of the very best from the local markets. Besides the cherries themselves, through out the area you can find just about anything flavored ‘Door County Cherry’ ranging from ice cream flavors, to margaritas. You name it, and I am sure someone’s got it.

5. It is all family oriented

To me, family is everything. So something that really warms my heart is a local business kept in the family name. Majority of Door County’s shops, restaurants, and anything in between is run by family. I don’t know about you, but that just makes me want to keep bringing my family back again and again.

I said it once, and I will say it again, Door County is one of my favorite places on the planet. I have loved it the first moment I got there, and I will continue to love it way past the last step I take there. It is quite simply a place for anyone and everyone to enjoy. If you haven’t already, take a chance and go visit the beautiful Door County, Wisconsin. I promise you will never regret it.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
