2026 Summer Vacation: Door County, Wisconsin
It’s time again to return to Door County, Wisconsin.
This year, we kept things super simple: fewer trips up and down the peninsula, more time on the lake, more quality time together.
Apart from the no-see-ums, which made our kids look like they had chicken pox, we accomplished our goal.
Before we left, I told my wife I was debating whether to take my Canon 5D classic or the go-to travel camera, the Canon EOS M6. One was an ol’-reliable DSLR, the other was the light and svelte mirrorless option.
“Why don’t you just take both?” she said.
Take both?
I hadn’t thought of that. The M6 was my default travel option, but I knew the Canon 5D would help me capture those special moments down by the water.
I also took it on our hike through Potawatomi State Park, where we climbed the observation tower to look over Green Bay:
We stuck around Sturgeon Bay for a week, then loaded up the car for the second week of summer holiday in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
As always, Door County felt like home away from home.
