We made our annual trip to Door County last Sunday. It started out cloudy and foggy that morning but after church the afternoon bloomed with sunlight and blue skies The fall leaves were so beautiful with the trees are standing tall and towering above the green fields. I liked the purple and red leaves in contrast with the bright yellow and orange. There were still a few green in there as well. So beautiful! Especially with view of the blue water in the distance from the bay of Lake Michigan. We stopped and ate lunch at the Rusty Tractor Cafe, which is also the tradition we started when my mom and my step dad, Randy, had come out for their first visit two years ago. It is a little place that we stumbled upon and now it has sentimental memories ever since.
Even though they took the antique shop out and moved things around, Randy was still there with us in spirit - we had a Bauermeister orange soda and reminisced about how he ate that super sized ice cream cone afterward. On the way home we had to stop in for some Door county wine tasting at the Door County Peninsula Winery where we also tasted samples of Fat Louie's oil and vinegars. We came home with a bottle of garlic oil - it was so good in the store we had to buy some.

Beautiful velvet hollyhocks in front of the cafe
At the Rusty Tractor. This older gentleman was enjoying his coffee at the ice cream bar on a milk can - sorta reminded me of the movie Grumpy Old Men
Wall of antiques - missed the store they had there. We're not sure why they got rid of it.
