Is this place called Bliss? Is it The Marketplace? I can't get a straight answer. Nevertheless, it…read moreis huge and beautiful, with two stories of home goods, decor, furniture, clothing, art and lots more. Upstairs, you'll also find a barber shop, salon and cigar store. I visited around Christmastime, so everything was decorated nicely and festively. They sell all kinds of cute ornaments, and I was this close to purchasing one, but then remembered that I have children who break everything, so I stopped myself from getting a $35 glass ornament. They sell lots of boutique clothing at Bliss -- mostly women's clothing and kids' clothing, but many of the pieces are unique and imported. I could spend a lot of time (and money) at Bliss aka The Marketplace. It's located in downtown Sturgeon Bay, and walkable to all kinds of shops and restaurants.

Some friends and I had a class at Popelka as a birthday treat. Jeremy (the instructor) was…read morewonderful at adapting to three very different experience (and confidence) levels. He was great at explaining and keeping things interesting while unobtrusively assisting when help was needed. In terms of price, our session was about the same as I paid for a similar glass-blowing event elsewhere. The big difference is that we were far more involved in every step of the process and we got to design our own pieces - the type (cup, vase, ornament, paperweight, etc.), the overall shape (short/tall/wide/flared) and the colors. It was a great time and I definitely recommend it as a fantastic afternoon excursion.

Some of the best views of Door County and Sturgeon Bay can be seen from the 10th floor of the Door…read moreCounty Maritime Museum. If the weather is nice, you might even be able to go onto the rooftop outdoor observation deck and take in the views from there. Either way, the views from this tall museum are worth the visit. Yes, it's a tall museum: It's 10 stories! Of course, there's an elevator if you need one, but if you're able, I suggest using the stairs and making your way up or down the flights one by one. I started from the top and made my way down, floor by floor. Each floor has a different exhibit. For instance, one floor is all about lighthouses. Another floor is about shipwrecks (with an interactive shipwreck game). There's something new and interesting to learn about the maritime history of Door County and Wisconsin on each level. At the bottom, you exit through the gift shop. The gift shop has lots of neat Door County gifts. (I was this close to buying a relief map of Wisconsin.) The first floor also has another exhibit with indigenous Wisconsin boats, models of Sturgeon Bay ships that were used during World War II, and other interesting artifacts. This is a neat museum, and even if you have zero interest in boats and maritime things (hello, that's me), it's worth a visit for the views of Door County.

What a great experience visiting this museum. It's not only just about maritime but also a lot of…read morehistory about Wisconsin in general. Few cool interactive displays and the very popular touring of the tug John Purves. We actually had to comeback next day to see the tug but it was worth it. Definitely a must visit if you are spending time in Door county.
