I must confess, I am completely in love and obsessed with Washington Island. As a Wisconsin native, I simply cannot believe my trip to this beautiful little island did not happen sooner! Luckily, Jordan and Shawn’s stunning wedding took place on the island and I finally had the chance to explore this great piece of paradise. To say I was swooning over it’s charm and quaint details would be an understatement. From the drive through gorgeous Door County, to the fun ferry ride, to exploring all the sites of the island – every part took my breath away.
Time seriously stops on the island. Your phones do not work. Finding wi-fi anywhere is almost impossible. There are no chain hotels, only little inns and B&B’s. You learn very quickly to put all your electronics anyway and embrace the island lifestyle. It was pure bliss to feel so free and detached from the outside world. No emails to send, no phone calls to return, no time to get distracted by social media. It’s just you and the island. It’s your chance to just be.
I highly recommend a trip to Washington Island. Whether it’s exploring the lavender fields at the Historic Island Dairy or enjoying a day at Schoolhouse Beach or having a cup of coffee at Red Cup Coffeehouse, you are sure to have an amazing time. Unplug for a weekend and have your own adventures there. Because isn’t that what life is all about? To go on wonderful adventures and create beautiful memories to last a lifetime.
