Washington Island - School House Beach
Yes, the God of Sunshine loves Oliver. Or maybe Christiana. Because right after we decided to scram from the Ostrich Farm, the clouds parted and out came Mrs. Sunshine. Off we went to the beach.
We made our way to School House Beach, located in Washington Island, Door County. It's a very unique beach.... there is no sand. Instead, there is an endless supply of smooth stones for Oliver to throw into the water. All. Day. Long. There are only 5 beaches like this in the world, and you'd have to travel to Sweden, Norway, France or Mexico to find one of the others. What makes this so special are the smooth stones, made of limestone, which rest under the clearest waters of Lake Michigan that you will find. It's such a lovely bay and place, and provides an endless supply of throwing apparatus for Oliver. See for yourself.
Winding up the pitch...
Pausing for a photo opp...
Tossing one in...
Walking with flip flops proved to be too much of a challenge for me...
But we had fun anyway!
