Egg Harbor's Chick Weekend!!!

 

Sick of winter, work, family , your city?  Come celebrate a chick getaway…Egg Harbor style!  With tons of things to do, Egg Harbor’s Girlfriends Great EGGscape weekend could be just what the doctor ordered!  Wine tasting, kayaking, fashion show, gelato, martinis and tapas, a PUB CRAWL…just to name a few.  You can register to for tons of activities,  eat, shop, golf  or just relax.  Check out the registration at EggHarborDoorCounty.Org for the full schedule.  You don’t have to sign up… you can stay at any of the Egg Harbor lodging establishments and just shop, golf, eat, drink or just relax and hang out.     Check with me on golf specials.

Visit Egg Harbor Lodge’s Specials page for our GGE special which includes a Mexican cocktail party and Trolley Pub Crawl (free) for guests staying at Egg Harbor Lodge.  Yes, ladies, do any activity of your choice on Friday night and Saturday afternoon but if you are a guest of Egg Harbor Lodge, make sure to be back at Egg Harbor Lodge at 7 pm for my GGE cocktail party!!!  I will have margaritas, beer, Mexican snacks and music… and then our free trolley to many of our Egg Harbor establishments.  I went as a guide last year only for that fact that my friend Lynn (who manages the Egg Harbor Visitor Center) couldn’t go because her dad died suddenly.  I was hesitant to go with a trolley full of strangers… all of them women, but we had a total blast!  So this year the trolley has a stop at Egg Harbor Lodge which can only mean a ton of fun.  If it is nice, our pool will be open and our indoor hot tub is always open.  We have bikes, tennis and a putting green as well.

Weather in May is always debatable… it could be beautiful or… maybe not so much.  Anyway, no matter what the weather… what happens in Egg Harbor, stays in Egg Harbor!  So come hang with us for our 2nd Annual Girlfriends Great EGGscape Weekend in Egg Harbor, Door County Wisconsin.  It will be your new tradition!

Cloudy with a chance of fun…

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Oh, what to do, what to do on a cloudy and/or rainy day?  In Door County the answer is… plenty!  Oh, there the usual things, plenty of boutiques and galleries which are great, but there are other things to do too.  Why not take a turn off the main drag and search for the hidden gallery or antique shop?  Bet you haven’t been bowling in awhile… check out the Sister Bay Bowl and refresh your memory on how to keep score by hand.  Then walk across the street to Husby’s and grab a cold beer and a burger.  Got an artsy side?  Even if you don’t, at Hands On Art Studio, paint, sculpt or weld yourself a masterpiece.

Why not take a class at the Savory Spoon Cooking School in Ellison Bay?  My friend Ronald and I took a wild game cooking class that was out of this world.  And the best part? The class sits down to eat the scrumptious dishes at the end.

If the weather is making you lazy, take a day and drive through one or more of Door County’s beautiful  state parks.  Even in the rain, there is nothing like a ride through the park.

Have you ever been to the Door County  Historical Museum?  Didn’t think so.  This free museum, yes free, is truly a Door County gem.  Our friend and neighbor, Mike Orthober, created a wildlife diorama that is so life like you won’t believe it.  Mike is an award winning taxidermist and artist.

Also at the museum,  check out the Pioneer Fire Company exhibit complete with old firetrucks, an antique hearse and an old jail cell.  Pretty unusual stuff, right?

Another museum located in Sturgeon Bay, is the Door County Maritime Museum who sponsors the annual Door County Lighthouse Walk that is scheduled for June 11-13.  Inside the Maritime Museum you will find the latest exhibit “GHOSTS! Haunted Lighthouses of the Great Lakes”.  That’s right, haunted lighthouses… too cool.

Still not satisfied? How about a trolley ride?  The Door County Trolley is celebrating their 10th year and we are headed to a party tonight at The Orchard’s to celebrate the fact.  The Door County Trolley offers winery tours, lighthouse tours, scenic tours and even a ghost tour.  Apparently, Door County is haven for ghosts… who knew!  Everybody loves the trolley not only for the places it can take you but also for the trolley drivers.  They are local folks who know everything about Door County and make the trip extra fun.  Congratulations AJ, on your ten year anniversary!

So, nothing to do on a rainy day?  That’s just crazy talk!

The Orchards at Egg Harbor

Friday, June 6th, 2008

The Orchards at Egg HarborNo, I am not talking about cherry or apple orchards, I am talking about The Orchards Golf Course, right here in Door County.  After a devastating fire last year, the new clubhouse is finished and is open for lunch and dinner.  The clubhouse has a full bar, men and women’s shower facilities, pro shop… you name it.  The new clubhouse is big enough for weddings and parties… Kim, the daytime bar manager had her own wedding reception there recently.  She said it was the perfect setting for a wedding reception and dance.  Our friend, Jack Jackson is the managing partner and is married to Egg Harbor’s own, Robin Hamm.  The course itself is a championship 18 hole course built on 200 acres of rolling hills.  The Orchard’s was a favorite of my Dad’s.  He not only loved the course, but he and Jack had been friends for many years.  Three of our four kids have worked for Jack over the years.  We wish Jack and Robin and everyone at the Orchard’s, a great season.
