I don't ever remember walking along the beach or strolling around the quarry at Harrington Beach State Park in the middle of the winter. But this winter is different.
So far this year, we've had minimal snow and unusually warm temps. Today we made it into the 50s. Add bluer than blue skies, a breeze out of the west, and the golden sun, and you have the makings of the perfect day to play hooky from work.
So that's what I did -- at least for part of the day. I couldn't resist.
If you haven't been to Harrington you should take some time to visit. Located in Belgium, just 25 minutes or so north of Milwaukee, this state park offers year-round activities including camping, fishing, cross country skiing, and hiking.
This is the place we'd go to as kids for some summer fun, whether we biked there from home or drove down with the entire family piled into our old green Dodge on a Sunday afternoon.
No matter the season, there is awe everywhere you look. It's the perfect place to go when you want to play hooky for the day.
Peggy, today in PA was absolutely amazing. I see you got to enjoy it a bit. Great to learn more about this state park. thanks.
