We did drive up Saturday morning though. We left bright and early and just made the 9am ferry to Washington Island. The back gate was actually up when we pulled up and they lowered it back down for us since they weren't full. Awesome. One short ferry ride later we stopped for a bathroom break at the visitor's center. We then headed to Mann's looking for some fish for Adam. Didn't find fish, but did find a t-shirt for Adam and some interesting beer bread mix. Cheddar bacon. Yum. Looking forward to trying that out. By that time the farm was open so we were first in line. All the usual suspects were there:
The peacock
The donkey (who really didn't like Adam...)
The ostriches
The potbelly pig (so cute!)
Otto (not sure what he is, but also, so cute!)
The miniature horse
The goats (no live births this year)
The sheep
And of course, the camel. Ollie. Who is in love with Adam. I didn't get a picture of the huge lip thing he does, but I did manage to get a video of the funniest part of the whole trip:
You don't get to hear me laughing hysterically for five minutes while Adam goes back to the front to get another bucket of food.
Anyway, another good time with the animals at the Double K W Ostrich Farm.
We then went to lunch at The Albatross. We had intended to stop there last year but ended up catching the ferry and eating at The Viking Grill instead. Adam tortured everyone by putting money into the juxebox and playing Jimmy Buffet songs. After lunch we got back in line for the ferry and headed back to the mainland. We stopped at Charlie's for Adam's smoked fish fix. We also hit the Confectionery and Lautenbach's. Our final stop was a farm market where I found the hugest cucumbers ever.
We came home to hungry cats and leftover chicken. Yay.
So camping this year? Not so great. We'll see what next season brings.
