Port Washington

Last Sunday we took a trip to Port Washington. It's not far from here, but is right on Lake Michigan. Simon really liked seeing the "big water."



We walked along the harbor area and saw lots of boats, and several fishermen cleaning fish they'd caught. Boston friends - pretend the water has salt in it, and it doesn't look much different from the New England coast, does it? :)

One big difference though - rather than fried clams and clam chowder, you get sausage shops and cheese curds. We went in to a shop to get ourselves some freshly made bratwurst for dinner that night (sun-dried tomato and basil for me, jalapeno and cheddar for Troy), and Simon spotted the bags of cheese curds. For you non-Wisconsinites, no, cheese curds do not only come in the deep-fried variety. We gave in and bought Simon a bag of curds, which he devoured on the drive home!
