I took a little vacation a couple weeks ago. I spent about 4 days at the western end of the island. I get really cheap rates for a certain hotel chain I work with so I stayed at one of our properties out there. I thought I'd share some photos. I took A LOT so I'll post a link to a gallery for those who want to see more and I'll post my favs here. (still will be a lot sorry!) I've always loved the island but sometimes I overlook how beautiful it is.

First up on my trip was visiting Pioneer Farm. Some of you might remember I worked there last summer. It's about 10 mins from my hotel so of course I needed to visit.

Anyone remember the baby llama I posted pics of a while back? This is her now! Hard to believe how big she is!

My favorite llama, Spirit. He is such a sweety (and no, he wasn't about to spit on me lol)

The farm is 100% solar/wind power.

Next time someone asks if a llamas lay eggs, she can point out to them that they're thinking of an Emu! (yes, someone actually asked that...)

Sorry for so many...I'm actually not posting them all though. Rest are in the gallery for those interested

I loved it out there. VERY peaceful. To the west end of the island is about 1.5 hours from where I live. (roughly the middle of the island)

Zeke came with me too...I'd be lonely by myself. This is outside my hotel. They had a lot of lovely gardens

Gorgeous!! What a nice little getaway. Was it cooler being that close to the water this time of year? It's unseasonably warm here right now.

Loved the farm photos. :) Off to the next post.. :D

No it was really nice that weekend. It's actually still nice out. I live close to the water (heck it's an island, we all live close to the water ;D) and it's been great. I think it's suppose to be in the 20's (Celsius) this weekend.
