Back Home Again!

And after saying goodbye to all the alpacas, and our gracious hosts (Red and Connie), at Misty Acres Farm in Augusta, Maine, we were back on the road this morning. The final leg of our winter getaway!

Happiness is...coming home after a long day on the road and your neighbours who've been looking after your house for the last several months have left YOU flowers and a card.

Have I mentioned that we have the BEST neighbours? Thank you Brenda and Doug...love you guys.

And that's a wrap for 'Maritimers Chasing The Sun - Season 1'!

As we sit back and relax, we can't help but relive and reminisce about our trip...so many great memories...so much good food...and new friendships that will last a lifetime.

Miss Kelly is Chilling

It's a 'ruff' life 😊

And yes, she needs a good brushing.

Several expectant Alpaca Mothers

Visited with the very pregnant girls this morning...no babies overnight! 😔

Alpacas!

We left the Boston area this morning and headed north. Have to make one more stop on the way home at one of our favourite places - Misty Acres Alpaca Farm!

They are so beautiful.

Several of "the ladies" are pregnant and overdue...it would be so awesome to see a birth or at least a newborn!  This is Tag...she is very pregnant!

We found Misty Acres last year through the Harvest Host program (if you are an RVer, check it out - a network of farms, breweries and wineries that offer spaces for RVers to stop for a night) and we loved it here. The owners are wonderful!

Sam Adams Brewery

Had a great tour of the Boston Samuel Adams Brewery today with Dan as our tour guide.

It's free! It's fun! You get to sample free beer!

The Boston Brewery opened in 1988 and is where all new beers have been created with the exception of the Boston Lager, which was created in founder Jim Koch's kitchen. There are larger Sam Adams brewery locations in Ohio and Pennsylvania, but the Boston location is the "test kitchen" where they come up with all the new flavours. We got to try the Boston 26.2 Brew created to celebrate the Boston Marathon...so tasty and light!

We've always been Sam Adams fans...now we're even bigger fans! Thanks Sam Adams!

Packing up the trailer now for tomorrow's departure from Boston. Our winter excursion is winding down...and we'll soon be back home in New Brunswick

Trader Joe's

Rainy day = a trip to Trader Joe's! I love Trader Joe's.

Will they ever come to Canada? Please?? Probably not, but it's just as well...I'd be there every day.

Quincy Market

Oh Boston, how I've missed you! It was so nice to get back to one of my favourite cities!

We didn't have a lot of time today, so had to prioritize...head for the food!  Missing my Louisiana friends, so had some Cajun mac and cheese at Quincy Market...YUM!

Then we walked over to Little Italy in the north end.

This place is amazing! We stopped at Mike's Pastry Shop to get some cannoli...the Florentine Cannoli is so freakin' good! These little white boxes are what dreams are made of 😄

Oh, and a chocolate dipped macaroon from Quincy Market, too. That might have to wait until tomorrow.

So happy that these 3 are almost back to normal after their horrible GI ordeal.

Kelly really gave us a scare - we weren't sure if the old girl would make it.  A trip to the vet, some meds and some special food and she was back to her old self! Unfortunately, she had to share her special food with her fur siblings. We believe it was their food that caused the issue. I read many comments on the IAMS site from people describing the same symptoms. A change of food seemed to solve the problem.
