Snowy Stay in Sturgeon Bay

Another week gone in a flash, I will say that working so hard at my new job does make the days on the calendar speed on by, which works well for me this time of year.

I never hate a two day stay in Sturgeon Bay for work, and this time my mom and I stayed at the Westwood Shores Resort.  We got a 2 bedroom suite for only $105 a night because they were recarpeting all the one bedroom suites.

The price is triple that in the summer, and so it will be back to the tent for me once the weather warms up. But it's nice to be spoiled every once in a while.

Sturgeon Bay has had its share of snow this year, and we woke to a little squall on our first morning.

I dashed right out and took a stroll across the bridge and back, determined to get a bit of exercise before I had to start work for the day.

Good thing I had a walk, I discovered who bakes the best cookies in town! Although I will admit that I have gained back the 6 pounds I worked so hard to lose before Christmas.  I can't wait until warmer days so I can get outside more...or I could eat less cookies but what fun is that?

Sunflour bakery is currently located on Michigan Street just over the bridge between the Citgo and the BP but the owner tells me he's moving a few blocks away soon so you'll have to look them up if you're coming to the Peninsula this summer.  The cookies are amazing but apparently they are well known for the scones also.  And they sell them to take and bake too!

By noon the snow had stopped and I will say they are quick to get the roads clean up there.  We got to enjoy a little bit of pink over the bay before the sun set.

Next week I'm all the way up to Ashland and even a quick dart over to Ironwood in the U.P.
In the meantime I'm trying to forget I have those cookies in the freezer...
