This is the final installment of pictures from last weekend's adventure in Door County. Although we had head home on Sunday, we still had a great day and enjoyed more activities in Door County. We awoke early to go into town to get coffee, and then sat by the campfire while Royce read to me from the book I had bought him for his birthday--African Tales by Harold Scheub. The reason behind the birthday present was that Royce and I at one point discovered that we had the same "favorite class" in college. It was African Storyteller 210 with Harold Scheub. Harold Scheub is the most amazing, inspirational teacher ever, and his class at UW is phenomenal. But more on that later...
Anyhow, we enjoyed several of the stories before starting in on our pumpkin carving. Royce was pretty intense when it came to carving his pumpkin. He chose a challenging design and did great work. I was feeling lazy and picked a simpler pattern. I think we did great work. From there, we packed up camp and then headed out for a final adventure--the long climb up the look out tower in Peninsula State Park. The view from the tower was phenomenal and a great way to end our time in Door County. That night, when we arrived back in Madison, we enjoyed dinner with Royce's parents at their house. They are lovely and it has been great to get to know them better. And that was my weekend!
Now I am getting ready to leave tomorrow for New Orleans. Royce has a friend's wedding to attend there, and I am his going as his date :) I'll also be exploring New Orleans for the very first time! So much to do, so much to do, before I leave. I'll be away from the computer tomorrow and Friday, but back with plenty of updates next week!
