Connection with a Place

A place that I have a connection with would be a little town called Door County, Wisconsin. Old family friends of mine live there during the summer and every year my family and I would take a trip and spend a little more than a week there. Door County is located near one of the great lakes, which allows for a lot of swimming and boating. In Door County there are only local shops and restaurants which makes it unique in that sense; however a very hidden treasures of this town would be it's chocolate store where they sell "chocolate chickens," which are literally just little delicious chicken figurines molded from chocolate. Another interesting place in Door County is a restaurant that, at various parts during the day, has cows eating from the grass-covered roof. Since these treasures are one of a kind, I really value the fact that I even got to experience such rarities, like seeing cows graze on top of a roof. I connect with this place because I've spent so much time there that I think of it as another home. It is special to me, not only because of the people who live there, but because it is one of a kind and reminds me of important childhood memories.
