Our friends greeted us as our Ferry came into dock at Washington Island.
We arrived at the cabin that our friend built on Washington Island.
We had a beautiful Sunrise coffee on the deck …
Then we were off to tour the island.
First stop the Lavender Farm!
Lavender was not in bloom when we arrived but it was drying inside the building.
There is a gift shop filled with beautiful Lavender! It is a must see!
A drive around the island a few creatures may get your attention…
After spotting the deer I found this quaint little cottage…
Off to have a beer at the local pub… with this guy…
…and so was this goat!
Remember the Lavender Farm and the building that was a reproduction of a church…
Well… here is the actual church…
Inside the church… amazing!!
A trip around Washington Island is not complete until you climb the stairway to heaven… that’s what I called it!
The view was incredible at the top!
But what goes up must come down…
We loved the whole Island…
what a great house! and such wonder captures of wildlife.
Thank you! It was a fabulous stay at their place! Thanks for stopping by!
wonderful captures, that is!
This post has a little bit of everything, and that is a really good thing in this case. Nice one. I’d really like that piece of drift wood. 🙂
That drift wood looks like a dragon…
I am so glad you enjoyed my mini tour of Washington Island!

Nice touch …

What a lovely place! The church is magnificent!
It really is. They have a few services there during the summer and has had a wedding.
The architecture is incredible.
Looks like a place you would never want to leave! I love the little blue cottage.
Wasn’t that the cutest?! I want to set up a tea party inside! Oh and decorate it for Christmas! Ha! Ha! I am sure it’s covered in snow… right now.
Thank you for stopping by.
