Thanks to our cousin, Sandy, for inviting us to a wine tasting at Hardwick Winery in Hardwick, MA. The wines are unique - mostly sweet fruity wines that paired great with the cheeses that were served. Beautiful back deck with entertainment! GOATS out back! What a great day for wine!!!

If there's ever been a "this is grownup" moment, this was it - a grown woman, walking an alpaca on a leash, while doing some sort of crazy, hysterical laugh-cry thing - this. is. grownup. Thanks to Living the Dream Alpaca Farm, I was able to have that moment. And it was wonderful. And I want an alpaca - well, two, so they dont' get lonely.

If you have a free weekend day this summer, take a trip up to Hartland, VT and take a walk with Daisy, the friendliest, most huggable alpaca in the whole world. Do the 20 minute walk. 10 minutes is NOT enough. IT GOES BY SO FAST. And check out their alpaca products in the store while you're there.

Thanks, LIVING A DREAM ALPACA FARM!

Savannah! Girls' Weekend! Woooooo! This was by far the busiest four vacation days I've ever had. There was so much to see and do in Savannah, and we made the most of our long weekend.
