Getting out of the house...

The weekend was unplugged.  No cell phone, ipods, ipads, laptops.  From our mom and pop hotel room in Door County we cheated a little and watched some of the summer olympics on the old school TV...otherwise we were unplugged.  Family weekends are just that.  You can sneak an 8 wt along but it's still not a fishing trip.  The kids swam and enjoyed the simple pleasure a swingset provides.  We packed our own food with the exception of 3 meals which we had at the same restaurant because the service was good and the food was better.  I snuck away a few times once to watch the kid at the end of the pier catch a nice small mouth and once to wade the flats of Bailey's Harbor looking for (but not finding) feeding carp.  Such sweet failure.
