We are back from a wonderful four days in Door County, Wisconsin. That’s the thumb in the mitten if you’re looking at a map. We camped at Potawatomi State Park, our first time there. Somehow or another, I managed to be incredibly organized, and we pulled out of our driveway at 10 a.m. We arrived in time to set up our campsite and have walking tacos before heading out on our first adventure.
We drove to Peninsula State Park where the American Folklore Theater is located. (They’re going to be changing their name next year.) I forgot that it was so far from Sturgeon Bay to Fish Creek, so we were about ten minutes late, but it didn’t matter. We saw the play Packer Fans from Outer Space. It sounds corny, but it was fabulous. It’s an original script and so funny. The actors are very good and the music was outstanding.
There were even a few surprises.
You can see that Jonalyn was rather taken by the entire production.
The Packers vs. the Bears. Guess who won LOL!
We really enjoyed ourselves. This is an outdoor theater. For all the rain that we had this year, there haven’t been many mosquitoes. For the two hours we sat out there, I only saw one of the pesky critters. And no need for that smelly Off.
We drove slowly through the park on the way back to our campground, enjoying the sunset over Green Bay. It truly is a beautiful place. Door County has been called the Cape Cod of the Midwest.
All in all, it was a great way to end the first day of our vacation. Have you ever been to an outdoor production of any kind?
I have seen at least one outdoor production. It was at a barn theater in SE MN. A production of Guys & Dolls in which my father played the heroine’s grandpa. He sang a song that isn’t in the movie, but is in the stage play: What More Could I Wish For…the character is singing that about his hopes for his granddaughter. Dad was a great singer…actor, not so much.
