Burning Mini's II - Haverhill/Ipswitch, MA
Posted by Jess in Mini Cooper S

I promise I won't talk about Mini's exclusively... well, I'll try!

This saturday Matt, Reboot and I drove up to Haverhill, MA, where another Mini run was taking place.

The weather was perfect, the foliage was on fire, and it was a great day for driving. We drove all around Haverhill and Ipswitch, stopping for lunch at Essex Pizza.

The first stop was at Mini of Peabody, where a shipment of Mini's was arriving just as we were.
Eloise finally got her Union Jack license plate frame.

The next stop was at Russell Orchards and winery in Ipswitch. What a day for the apple orchard! There was a marketplace, some farm animals to pet, free cider tasting, and a fantastic live bluegrass band.

The next stop was at Kimball Farm to visit the Llamas. Reboot really wasn't sure what to make of the llamas.

But then again, if I was a dog, I'm not sure what I'd think if I saw this towering in front of me. But what nice posture!

Finally, we winded back to the farm where we started for a nice cookout and bonfire.

Great people, a great ride, great scenery... a great day all around. Both Reboot and Matt were fast asleep the whole way home. :-)

There's some more great shots.

Just the regular one-headed llamas? No pushme-pullyus? Bummer. Reboot would have gotten a real kick out of one of those.

This was Ralph, The Wonder Llama. He is very popular. He has many devoted sites. This one in particular is quite... epileptic. http://www.theknightsofni.com/llama.html

Did someone sack the person responsible for the møøse?

That website was must have been done at the last minute and at great expense. :-D
