Wagon Trail Campground, Rowleys Bay, Wisconsin Peninsula
Well the rain carried over from last night into this morning.
Blaine had had it with being cooped up in here, meaning that he was tired of not being able to get outside whenever he wanted. Even though yesterday was a good day.
And I was tired of the mosquitoes everywhere we went around this campground. If we went into town, it seemed to be fine, but around here? Ugh!!
So when he proposed a walk after the rain stopped, I turned him down. I just didn’t feel like dancing today, nor did I want to perfume myself with Deet and have to shower again before dinner. (we’re going out for Father’s Day dinner tonight 😊)
So Blaine went solo. He even took some “Terri-worthy” pictures!
I stayed home and, what else?, worked on the blog. Including the Special Edition piece on the washed out roads.
He chose “Wild Tomato” for dinner. It’s a wood-fired pizza place in Sister Bay. We got to eat outside! Yes! The weather was perfect! We ordered a half-and-half pizza: half works, half grilled mushrooms and onions. The pizza was excellent, though the works one was better. The only criticism we had was that amazingly, if you can believe it, they use too much cheese. Now, don’t get me wrong. We love cheese! We’d make great Wisconsinites! But this was a bit much.
Of course, the fact that we’d just consumed a bunch of breaded and deep-fried cheese may have contributed to our opinion.
Yep! You read right. We ordered a Wisconsin special we kept hearing about – – cheese curds. Now cheese curds come all kinds of ways, but this place fries ‘em. Think mozzarella sticks . . . . only not. These are little clumps of white cheese. And it’s not really mozzarella, but kinda like that. They batter them in something like you’d see fish battered in at Arthur Treacher’s, and they serve them with salad dressing that’s kinda like Ranch . . . but not quite. Now that you’ve read this wonderful description, makes you want to run right out and get some, doesn’t it? 😊 They were really good, though!
After all that cheese, we really needed to get walking. So here we are, walking the streets of Sister Bay again, and down to the marina. It turned into a simply superb day!
The really amazing thing? There were no goats on the roof today! I don’t know why. It’s Monday, and it’s only 4:45pm. At first, we thought maybe the restaurant was closed on Mondays, but people were going in and out – just not as many as we’ve seen previously. So either the goats went on strike, or they took a vacation day.
