Visit to Starry Night Alpaca Farm

While driving down the road in Lower Allen/York County, saw a sign, which read Alpaca Farm. Since my five-year old nephew was with me, I asked him if he would like to visit the farm. Of- course he said yes. What a wonderful surprise! The owners of the alpaca farm were extremely informative, very friendly, especially with the many questions asked by my nephew and myself. The farm was well groomed and the animals were very clean and friendly. They would take treats from your hand. They also had two Lamas, peacocks, and two barn cats, which my nephew enjoyed playing with. Afterwards we visited their small store (made by the Amish), which included items made with Alpaca fur. They do spinning of the fibers (from their Alpacas) into yarn for scarves, blankets, etc. The entire visit was very interesting and well-worth the time we spent there. I highly recommend this visit to the Alpaca Farm (Starry Night Alpacas), Observatory Drive York County, 938-6898. We plan to return in October after two of the Alpacas give birth. My nephew could not wait to tell his mother, father, and seven-year old brother about what he saw and learned. If you have the opportunity, this is a great place to visit.

A Beautiful Day in Boiling Springs

My daily trip to the post office this beautiful sunny morning once again confirmed my feelings that Boiling Springs is a wonderful little town.
As I parked my car I looked across the street and saw a fly fisherman casting his rod into Children's Lake while a little further up there was a family with several children feeding the ducks. Two swans noticed the activity and were gliding their way over to see what was going on. Jogging past all this was a giggling group of teenagers having a good time.
On my way into the post office (the friendliest and most helpful post office in PA) I passed someone leaving and was greeted with a hearty good morning! Back in the car I saw a runner doing stretches by the lake and tables on the patio at Caffe 101 filled with visitors enjoying their food and the view of a beautiful lake in the middle of a quaint little village.

Going Green Never Tasted So Good! (Green Room Bistro)

I know that we blog a lot about food, but it's just so easy when there are so many delicious restaurants right by our office!

Earlier this week Katherine and I returned to the Green Room Bistro. I was there for the soft launch, and I was excited to go back when the full menu was available. I ordered a turkey and cheddar sandwich - and am I ever glad I did!

Summer Lunch at Caffe 101

The other day was so nice out that lunch outside seemed like a must! I haven't been back to Caffe 101 in Boiling Springs since it's opening and I wanted to check out their fairly new patio. The outside seating area is so pretty and there is a great view of Children's Lake. I ordered the turkey and cheese club sandwich which was very tasty and had great bacon on top! I would definitely recommend this unique restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner and make sure you enjoy the patio before it gets chilly out!
