Our daughter, Meghan, and I first had the idea to take a father-daughter trip last spring. Because I came into Ann and Meghan’s lives when Meghan was in high school, she and I have never really had time to do something just the two of us. After all, Ann and I were married at the beginning of Meghan’s senior year of high school, and then she was off to college, then nursing school, and the workforce.<\/p>\n

Meghan loves travel as much as Ann and I. She even wrote a blog post about what she’s learned through travel with her mom<\/a>. While we have been fortunate to have Meghan with us for a number of family vacations in the 11 years Ann and I have been married, it has never been just Meghan and me on a trip. So, we decided to do something about it, and asked our readers, for father-daughter trip ideas.<\/p>\n

A moment of authenticity: This blog post has fewer pictures than normal because Ann wasn’t there. I always forget to take pictures, especially in restaurants where I am quickly distracted by delicious-looking food. Please forgive me \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The father-daughter trip idea we picked: Door County, Wis.<\/h2>\n

One destination suggestion we received from many people was Door County, Wis. I’d visited there when I was in college about 30 years ago, and remembered it being very nice but not much more than that. So, it would basically be a new place for both of us. I ran the idea past Meghan and she liked it. So, we set our plans.<\/p>\n

We left Rochester, Minn., where Meghan lives and works as an ICU nurse. On the way, I engaged in what has been a favorite trip idea of parents for years: dragging your kid on a stroll down memory lane. Our route took us through Appleton, Wis., where I attended college at Lawrence University<\/a>. So, of course, I wanted to make a quick stop to show Meghan the campus. Meghan, for her part, was nice and happy to humor me.<\/p>\n

Next, we left Appleton, and finished our drive to Door County. Because of our last-minute planning, there weren’t many vacation rentals available. We booked a cozy Airbnb called Cedarwood Cabin near Bailey’s Harbor. It had more space than we needed but was new and available! It had a central location out in the country but it wasn’t too far from anything.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
