Madeline Island 2013 - First Visit: Seaplanes


Friday June 14, 2013

I noticed a few different seaplanes tethered to the shore near the Beach Club around noon. After Dale got home from work we took Athena for a walk and noticed the them flying around.

Madeline Island 2013: First Visit: Drinks and Dinner


Thursday June 13, 2013

Dale and I had cocktails on the porch and then went over to The Beach Club for dinner. Despite already having eaten a fish sandwich for lunch I decided to have another one for dinner. Dale got one too and we both ordered the whitefish (since I had had trout for lunch). When the fish is good, the fish is good.

Top: Gin and tonic
Bottom: Fish sandwich

Madeline Island 2013 - First Visit: Goldie Fawn


Thursday June 13, 2013


On my quest for a blueberry muffin I met a new friend. I left the house for Mission Hill at about 7 a.m. and felt something breeze by the back of leg. I figured it was a rabbit but when I turned around I saw it was the adorable fawn pictured above. She let me look at her for awhile. Later in the day when I left the house to walk to the grocery store she whisked behind me again. I decided to name her Goldie Fawn. 

Madeline Island 2013 - First Visit: Bayfield Shopping 2

Thursday June 13, 2013

Another favorite store of mine in Bayfield is Sweet Sailing.  There is a huge selection of candy including many things they make themselves. I stopped in and picked up a peanut cluster and a chocolate covered pretzel (pictured top right).  It was hard to access the store due to the construction outside on Rittenhouse Avenue (pictured top left) but I found a way in. The store also sells a huge amount of taffy (pictured bottom).

In Bayfield I made a stop at Roxanne's which is one of my favorite stores. I found this deer bust which I thought would look great in our porch back home.

Madeline Island 2013 - First Visit: Maggie's in Bayfield 2

While at Maggie's I had to go with the fish sandwich. I ordered the  trout with sweet potato fries. The fries were excellent - very crunchy, not soggy.

Once I got to Bayfield I had a hankering to eat at Maggie's for lunch. The food is always good.
