Topic: Door County, Wisconsin<= /span>

Dawn said,<= /p>

Thought I'd throw this vacati= on idea out to everyone. We go to Door County, WI every year. Ther= e is much to do and I recommend this as a fun, family trip. Here is a link from Family Fun http://familyfun.go.com/family-tr= avel/places/feature/famf0603door2see_sa/ - http://www.tripadvisor.com/GoList= Detail-g60282-i1561-Through_the_Door_Door_Co_WI-Sister_Bay_Wisconsin.html

On our kid's must do list is = P.C. Junction in Fish Creek. This restaurant has a toy train that brings y= our food to you. The inside of the restaurant looks like a train depot.&n= bsp; Expect to wait 45 minutes for a train seat but don't worry. There's plenty to do outside. It's a kid wonderland with a giant "water tower" slide into a sand pit, wooden train the kids can climb on, playhouse and old pick up turned into a jungle gym. For kids there's = hot dogs and chicken tenders. The steak sandwich is great. They’ve just opened up a barn right next door that sells ice cream and also has a train that delivers it = to you. In addition they have ad= ult size foot pedal cars that you can drive around their wooded area.

Never Been Licked Yet in Fish Creek has great custard. They also have a big swing set/playground for the kids. A creek runs through the area so it makes for a very relaxi= ng, picturesque snack break.

The other must do is The Farm in Sturgeon Bay. It is an old, working farm and museum. Pick up mi= lk bottles and feed for the roaming, baby goats, sheep and pigs. C= hase some hens, pick up baby chicks, goats and one of about a dozen kittens that= are always on hand and kid friendly. Don't forget to save some of your fe= ed for the cows, horses and donkeys on the other side of the farm. Kids = can see all varieties of rabbits and pigeons. You can view all the old fa= rm equipment and see samples of growing crops. If your children like tra= ils, the farm has some really nice forest trails attached to the property that y= ou can go on. My son, who is usually afraid of most animals, can enjoy t= he farm at his own pace. The animals are all so people friendly that even the most timid end up cuddling a kitten or petting a cow. If your children have never had a "farm" experience, this is the place to= go.

We've also gone to Door County many times. We rented bikes = and rode through Peninsula State Park, hubby and the boys did lots of hiking an= d I shopped in the cute stores. We went to a fish boil and our son was the only one to like all the food--he even liked the "boil over', which freaked me out. We chilled out at the cottage we rented and did lots = of hiking. We attended the Peninsula Music Fest--and our son went to one= of the concerts--he loves music--it might not be the best for others. It= was always a good family vacation for us.

We go to Door County every year as well! Have been to all the places you mentioned and can't wait to go back to them next month! We like staying in Fish Creek, right next to the Peninsula State Park. There are some gr= eat trails in there to go biking on. I recently just bought my 5 year old = son with autism a "tag-a-long" bike, which attaches to your bike. He loves it and I love it, too.- I know where he is at all times= !
