Five Reasons to Stay at Blue Harbor Resort This Fall
Hello and happy September! Although Summer doesn’t officially end until the 23rd, September begins to slowly fade from humid to crisp as our days little by little get shorter, school begins in full-swing, and it suddenly feels like the workload in the office is picking up alongside the slowing of Summer.
The transition period between Summer and Autumn is an ideal time of year for those who love Fall, but also don’t want to wish away comfortable temperatures too quickly. Us Midwesterners do love our transitional 60-degree weather when we can enjoy the outdoors without being too hot or too cold. We’re like Goldilocks, we want it juuust right.
Which is why the Autumn season in Sheboygan, Wisconsin is one of the most primetimes to take a getaway trip to Blue Harbor Resort and enjoy some Fall-fun.
