I recently went on a family getaway to one of the most beautiful places in all of Wisconsin. Door County is a peninsula approximately 70 miles long and lies in the northeast part of the state bordering Lake Michigan. With 11 lighthouses, 5 state parks, 11 golf courses, 100 art galleries, museums and performing arts venues, 2500 acres of cherry orchards, 6.5 miles of sandy shoreline, and more than 23,000 acres of public and preserved land to explore, there is always a new adventure in Door County.

Why would I stay at a campground when I go to Walt Disney World? I’m sure this is a common thought. For a family of adventurers that rise with a sunny wake-up call from Mickey then go to bed after the last firework has lit up the night sky at Cinderella’s castle, Fort Wilderness is the best place to call it a day.

Racing has always been a part of my life….Fast forward twenty years and I’m enjoying the sights and sounds of NASCAR racing with kids.
