Wagon Trail RV Resort, Ellison Bay, WI: Another beautiful morning, but we didn’t do much of anything. I did maintenance stuff—nails and toes. Mike spent most of the afternoon up at the lounge on the computer. I sat outside reading some. We plan on having dinner at the Mission Grill and then head to the Peninsula Players Theater to see “A Little Night Music”.

Wagon Trail RV Resort, Ellison Bay, WI: Beautiful this morning with a deep blue cloudless sky. I suggested we either take the bikes over to Newport and bike some of the trails there, or go back to the little park in the grove of cedars in this sandy cove with the pristine beach. We decided on the latter. So after setting up a pot roast in the crock pot, we packed up our stuff, donned our bathing suits and headed out. Got set up and headed to the water. This time we brought our snorkel gear. The water seemed much colder than a couple of days ago. It was very cold. But I was determined and continued out. Mike said no way and quit when he got above his knees. Waded out to about my waist and finally went in the rest of the way. After getting used to the water temps it felt pretty good. A couple of little girls followed me out—they were probably 8 and 11. After messing around with them for a while I told them I was heading out further and that they should probably not follow me. So they headed back and I continued out. I was out quite a ways and realized I was not too far from the drop-off. Would have liked to snorkel over that but at this point I realized I was all by myself out there. After about an hour I headed back in. Had some lunch and then sat in the sun drying off and warming up. Came back around 3:30 and the pot roast smelled so good. I was starving. We ate around 5:30 and watched a few episodes of “Band of Brothers”, based on the Steven Ambrose book of the same name. Probably upper 70s today.

Wagon Trail RV Resort, Ellison Bay, WI: Had a thunderstorm last night and it rained hard for a while. But this morning dawned bright, sunny, and warm. Went over to the lounge early to get on the computer. After lunch we headed out and played miniature golf again. Drove around after that exploring a little. Tried to find a house we had looked at the last time we were here, but couldn’t find it. Came back and had left-overs for dinner. Watched three more episodes of The Sopranos. Mid-80s today.
