R & R -Anniversary getaway

We had a blast. As it was simple and that's what we needed coming from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Looking at the stars at night and smelling the fresh air was a lovely highlight along with walking the Llamas, visiting the seashore, seeing the seals and just cooking outdoors. Just what the doctor ordered. Looking forward to doing it again.
