Today we decided to go check out the town of Belfast and there were a couple of yarn shops Jennifer and I wanted to check out.

The first yarn shop was the Blue Alpaca, they have a small store in town, they also have a ranch outside of town, but I don’t think we will get to that. I bought some Alpaca yarn, so pretty and soft!

While we were in the store, Phil and Rick were buying ice cream cones from the little shop next door. They had hand rolled waffle cones that looked really good, so nothing would do, that we got some as well. Yummy!! It was so warm out that the ice cream was melting faster than I could keep up with it. It was fun trying though!

 We walked around the little downtown area and visited some of the shops. The downtown area is on a bit of a hill, which made it difficult for the hobbler (me) to keep up. We found the other yarn store, on the other end of town. A very nice selection of yarn and everyone was so helpful! In case you are wondering, yes, I bought more yarn.

Doesn't this make you feel good about a place, sort of whimsical, a fun place to be. 

While we were in the last yarn shop, the lady helping me told us about a park where we could go park and get out and walk around, she said it was a pretty area. Phil got the directions and we headed out there. It was on the way back to camp, so no time lost.

 Turned out to be a rather large park, with old homes on three sides and the water on the fourth. There was a nice dock with restrooms and benches along the boardwalk.
