• Habitually Chic Travel Guide: Newport, Rhode Island — We had planned to vacation in Newport this month, but decided to stay closer to home. I hope we can go next summer.

• Luke Collins Photography — I am so inspired by Luke’s photography, especially his beautiful photos of Door County. We recently connected on Instagram and discovered that his grandfather, Jack, was my dad’s best man when he married my mom.

Door County Getaway • Summer 2020

Time with family and friends, lovely wildflowers, baby animals, crystal clear water, craggy shorelines, white pelicans, crimson cherries and strawberries, fragrant lavender, jelly beans in ice cream cones, thousand foot lake boats and tiny prams, steel bridges, brilliant sunsets, masked trolls, goats on thatched roofs, and Swedish fish floating in cocktails — we must be in Door County!
