The Door's Bucket

Last summer and fall went by so quickly, all I was left with was a list of things I wasn't able to do. Granted, I still did a lot of truly amazing things that weren't on my list, but this time I want to hold myself a little more accountable. So you know what I did? I made a bucket list...more or less. I wrote down all of my favorite things, places, activities, and to-do's so I won't 'forget' or get too busy. I figure this is a two way street. If anyone ever decides to come up to D.C. I will have hopefully provided plenty of 'local goods' to make it an incredible time, and for my sake, I'll be able to write and indulge in these pleasantries for the sake of 'reporting'.


Here's what I have, and feel free to add whatever you'd like (this list will probably be on going all summer!).

Restaurants
Shoreline-Dinner
White Gull Inn (I gotta check it out! They were voted America's Best breakfast by good morning, America!)
Sandpiper- breakfast
Whistling Swan- if I ever win the lottery
Birmingham's- burgers
Wild Tomato- pizza
Door County Ice Cream- The best (and HOMEMADE) icecream
Wilson's- okay icecream, great tradition
Leroy's-coffee
Espresso Lane- Coffee
Basecamp- coffee shop
JJ's La Puerta- Margarita's, chips and salsa!
Hitching Post- tradition, tradition, TRADITION!
Door County Bakery- Sorry to say, but the best Bakery in town!
Confectionary- fun, candy, and sugar.
Blue Horse- lunch, sandwiches, wholesome amazingness!
Bakery whose name escapes me
Al Johnson's- pancakes, of course.

Alright, so this is a good start, and a tremendous monetary and investigative feat. I'll be starting with these restaurants, but if you send me an e-mail saying, 'Hi, ya, where's the best fish boil?' You better believe I can figure it out for ya!

I know, I know this list means nothing to you at all right now. But, after this summer we will all sufficiently say I stuffed my face, entertained myself constantly and had one hell of a good time. In the mean time, I have to work on remembering my camera!
