July 31, 2015. Door County to St. Ignace, MI.













 
 



 
July 31, 2015.  Door County to St. Ignace, MI.  We are in Straits State Park, St. Ignace, Michigan, tonight.  We left Peninsula State Park about 8:00 AM and arrived here at 4:00 PM.  It was a beautiful day for a drive with puffy white clouds against a pure blue sky. 

We purchased cheese curds at Renard's Cheese, another of our regular stops.  Of course, Renard is my mother's maiden name.  They pronounce it differently, however.  My maternal grandparents called themselves Ren'-ard.  The cheese guys call themselves Ren-ard', with the emphasis on the second syllable.  That's kinda an uppity pronunciation, don't you think?

Our travels took us through Green Bay, home of the Green Bay Packers.  I snapped a shot of Lambeau Field in the distance.  It appears to be one of the tallest structures in Green Bay.  It certainly is the best known and most visited.  

We have stayed in this campground several times before.  You have seen other pictures of the bridge, "Big Mac", one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. 

The plan is to visit Mackinac Island tomorrow and Sunday.  The weather forecast calls for rain Sunday, so we'll see.  I may have to eat enough fudge tomorrow to last two days.

Were the curds at Renard's fresh? Did they squeak?

The Wisconsin pronouncement of Renards appears to be similar to Menard's the home improvement store headquartered in Wisconsin.
