Door County
Does anyone have a suggestion as to a nice place to stay in Door County? Also, is there a big differnce between Door County and Galena. We are from Chicago but have not been to neither. Also, any suggestions as to what to see and do? We are planning a trip over Memorial Day weekend and realize we must book soon.

Don't go to Galena, go to Door County!!! Door County is a lovely little piece of Scandinavia crossed with the Maine coast and dropped into Lake Michigan. Great places to stay include the White Gull Inn and the Whistling Swan in Fish Creek but there are lots of great places. The Chamber of Commerce website will help you out there (any search engine will pull it up). To do in late May...hiking in The Ridges nature sanctuary or around Whitefish Dunes state park, bicycling through Peninsula Park, antiquing, or any of the "fests" that happen just about every weekend. Late May is lovely for everything except swimming and the beach.

Just to offer another opinion.....Galena is closer to Chicago ( 3hours) rather than 4 1/2. It's another lovely little historical town and the terrain in Jo Daviess Co. is quite hilly and unlike anything in Chicago. I think either way, you'll have a lovely vacation.
