Food Minia

My husband, Kevin and I spent the 4th of July weekend in Door County.  We've gone several times over the years and each time we see and do something new.  This time, we went on a kayak tour, stayed in a new B&B, watched the fireworks on a friends sail boat and ate at a few new restaurants.  So if you ever find yourself in Door County here's a few of our favorites.  Our first stop was lunch at  Wild Tomato in Fish Creek .  They now have a new location in Sister Bay.  This is a must stop every time we're in Door County.  They have gourmet pizza combinations, burgers, appetizers, really fresh salads and  a great beer selection.
