Annual petting of a cow? Check.

After an alarming encounter with heartburn in the middle of the night, we got up this morning for a full day of touring, cheesing, beering, and shopping.

We started the day eating at Penny Cluse Cafe - yes, I had the pancakes and MAPLE SYRUP. It was outstanding. Chris had the Zydeco breakfast - think black beans, eggs, and andouille sausage. Our waitress from last night recommended it, and it did not disappoint!!



We then traveled a few miles south to Shelburne Farms. It was pretty cool, I have to say. As we walked the 3/4 mile to the farm barn, we checked out these chickens and I hung out with one.



Have you ever seen a chicken run? It's not a trick question. IT IS HYSTERICAL. They kind of pick up speed very quickly, and not only bob up and down but side to side. I wish we took video, I laughed out loud.







We then went up to the barn where I hung out with this cow, and petted her...as is my thing. Good luck for another year!!! WOO HOO!!
