It wouldn't be a lakehouse without our name carved in wood, would it? George made the sign and I made the fish out of outdoor material strung on bamboo rods.The island is very low key. There's really not a main drag with sidewalks and quaint shops. It's mostly just an isolated rural community. Here are some shots around the island.
The Albatross. Ice cream, cheese curds, brats, you name it. Their turtle sundae Saturday night hit the spot. :)
Island Post Office.
Lots of rural farmland in the center of the island. You can drive quite a distance before you see anything.
Capital Brewery is a brewer in Madison. They make an Island Wheat beer using wheat grown on the island. Here's a farm that grows some of the wheat. You can see the sign on their barn.
The Twice Around Shop, the islands thrift store in this cute old house. This weekend I found an old tire swing in the design of a horse. I know Magic Cabin sells them for $100 so I was thrilled for finding this one for $5!
We rode our bikes a lot this weekend. We rode to the coffee shop for iced coffees on the porch. We rode to the Marina and had beer and wings on the patio. We rode to the Sand Dunes beach just down the road from us. The water is so low that it's not the best swimming spot but the sand is beautiful. We can't wait to bring Magnolia here.

This looks so beautiful! We all can't wait for our first visit to the island in July. While we would all love to see you guys, we hope that you are on that long flight to China to finally meet little Magnolia. Thanks for sharing this with us! Emily
