DH and I went on a short adventure on Saturday to visit Sheboygan, WI. I had 2 primary goals there: visit the Kohler Art Preserve and walk on the beach.

We stopped at the Kohler Art Preserve first.

I had been wanting to see an exhibit of grottoes and other folk art there for a while, and it did not disappoint. It is a great museum, and we got to see a lot of interesting and moving pieces. Part of the grottoes exhibit was still there, though part had moved on.

Our next stop was lunch at a Hmong restaurant, which is a cuisine we had not tried before. It was delicious! Would definitely go back there again. After that, a quick stop at the Last Sheepicorn, a yarn shop I had visited and written about a few years ago. Sadly, they are closing down at the end of this month, though they have hopes of finding a buyer.

Then finally, we got to walk on a Lake Michigan beach! Sheboygan has several city parks that include shoreline. We visited Deland park, which is a lovely park with a good stretch of sandy beach. It was a perfect day out, and we enjoyed the view and just being by the water.

I am just not happy until I get my feet in the water! All in all, it was a great little day-long getaway. 5/5 – would recommend!
