This past Friday morning I packed bags with bathing suits, diapers, baby food, and changes of clothes for warm and cool weather. I did so not knowing exactly where we as a family would be spending the weekend. The only hint Kevin gave me was that we would be driving 203 miles north. We headed out at 10 a.m. and around 2 p.m. we pulled into Spurgeon Bay, in Door County, WI.
To say that we enjoyed our time up north would be an understatement. Most of our time was spent driving around the peninsula touring the various bay villages, as well as the state parks. We took time to enjoy a traditional fish boil, play in the hotel swimming pool, and watch the sunset at Potawatomie Park.

And boy, did it boil!
The church where "The Old Rugged Cross" was introduced by its author. It was first sung as a duet during revival services.
Door County is a place we hope to return. We were surrounded by the beauty of farmland, trees, coastline, and a sky streaked with purple and orange thunder clouds as the sun set. But the most beautiful part of the weekend was simply being together as a family. Thank you, Lord.
