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!
Do you have favorite places to visit near where you live?

Looks like a fun trip! Sad to hear about The Last Sheepicorn closing, though. That’s a great name.
Sheboygan appears to be Chippewa in origin, but my (very brief) research into the history of the name found some different ideas on what the original word meant. Etymology is so cool, though. I love researching word origins.

It was! We are hoping to make it over to the beach a few more times this summer, so hopefully we will get there again. It is a great yarn shop name. Hopefully they will have a buyer so it will live on!
Thank you for researching that! That’s interesting!
