Yesterday Heather came to me and said she wanted to check out some of the attractions in and around McMinnville. So today that's what we did, and what a fun time it was!
Our first stop was the Yamhill County Fairgrounds to see an Equestrian show. Neither of us have ever had a horse, but it was still neat to watch. Scott has had some exposure to dog shows, so he had an idea of what the judges were looking for. However, it wasn't exciting enough for us to stay very long.
After that, we traveled to Lafeyette and turned Northwest up Abbey Road. There is an Abbey called the "
Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey." It was a really neat site, and it would be a wonderful place to go for a spiritual retreat. There was a pond and lots of trails leading off into the woods. Though, for our outing that day, it wasn't the right place for our picnic lunch we brought.
Our final stop was the
Abbey Road Farm Bed and Breakfeast. Heather had seen it on her way home Friday evening and wanted to check it out. We had looked at the website the night before, and realized that staying there was way out of our price range, but thought it would be a fun
place to see. Wow, were we impressed. Judi Stuart greeted us as soon as we stepped out of the car. For the next 3 hours, Judi and John (the owners) gave us a tour of the rooms and the farm. We got to see the Llama, Alpaca, sheep, goats, chickens, donkey, and their dog Annie. We helped Judi gather eggs, chase the male goats back into the pen after they got into the hay storage area, and pick cherries from their trees. The Stuarts moved to Oregon about 4 years ago from Las Vegas when they decided they wanted a different kind of lifestyle. Now they have a working farm where they grow alot of their fruit, milk their goats, and gather eggs from their
hens. You will have to visit them to see for yourself how wonderful of a farm they have. We absolutely enjoyed our time outside without a watch and just enjoying the fresh air.
Check out some of our pictures at Abbey Road Farm.
