Road Tripping Residents

Residents on a Road Trip

Thirteen residents from Eastcastle Place retirement community in Milwaukee, took a fun-filled trip to Door County. Resident Doris Cummins kept a journal of the three-day excursion, which she said included a taste-testing at Island Orchard Cider and a fish boil dinner at Rowleys Bay Resort in Ellison Bay, shopping and sightseeing in Egg Harbor, a visit to Edgewood Orchard Galleries and attendance at a live performance of The Drowsy Chaperone at Peninsula Players Theatre in Fish Creek, and a ferry expedition to Washington Island.

“Door County was just the perfect destination for our residents who are always excited for an adventure,” said Laura Wengler, director of community life at Eastcastle Place. “They’re already talking about a return trip soon!”
