Nerd's Eye View Alpacapalooza
I'll admit, I'm a bit impartial to this post well, because we were there. And no, Austin did not make good on his promise to hug EVERYTHING, because he chickened out. These folks were serious about their alpacas and cute-overload was an understatement. And if we ever give up our travel obsession, you can come visit us at our alpaca farm in Western Washington.
