That sounds like a great trip. I have heard great things about Door County, as we have family in that area.

Monsters of Templeton is really good too!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend! When I lived in Madison we used to camp in Door County pretty often, but I don’t think I’ve ever been there in the winter. It’s beautiful!

What great trip, and I love the pictures. Thank you for sharing. I probably would have alternated between reading by the fire and playing in the snow. I have the Monsters of Templeton as well and am looking forward to reading it.

Sounds like a great little mini-vacation. That also sounds like a really cute little bookstore!

What a wonderful husband you have! I’m married to a former English professor who does a lot of reading (and writing) himself, but he still manages to steer me away from any bookstores I may stumble across. You’re a lucky girl!

What a great idea, a babymoon! I bet you’ll appreciate it in a few months. And what a gorgeous place! It looks just perfect. Glad to hear you’re feeling well.

I like that idea re: the ARCs as bonus gifts. I may suggest that to my local bookstores. I’ve see a lot of ARCs for sale.

That was an awesome post! I love hearing about the personal side of the bloggers I read! First of all, I don’t think I appreciated your being pregnant, so congrats. It is truly a gift that God gave to women, at least after the nausea! I loved the whole darned process. I give you some credit for venturing out in such weather, but I’m sure it lent itself to snuggling. There is nothing better than finding a mom and pop bookstore. That is always the cherry on top of a vacation!

FYI, I LOVED “The Historian”. I need to read it again someday.

Thanks for sharing your weekend with us!

That sounds like a great trip, and what a wonderful way to have some quality time pre-baby! Thanks for sharing this trip with us. Hubby and I are hoping to plan a trip back to Chicago in the fall (we went to college there), and I’d love to extend it up to this area for a few days.
