Celebrity Dairy Vacation in Siler City, NC

Our adventure started Saturday in Pittsboro at the Carolina Brewery and Grill. The food and service was awesome. Of course I had to try one of their own brews called the Sky Blue and I think Linda's was called a Hurricane and had strawberry in it.


It was a roomy restaurant with lots of local art on the walls for sale

Linda chose the turkey sandwich on freshly made bread and was very satisfied with her choice.

I like spicy food so I had to get the buffalo chicken strips. We were both so full when we left.

Britt is the owner and host at the Celebrity Dairy and does everything he can to make you feel so at home.

Brooke, the chef, always exceeded our expectations at breakfast and is such a sweet person to be around as well.

Side entrance where guest enter to get registered and is also the main dining room entrance.

Tapestries and other decorations that add beauty to the B & B

Plate commemorating the beginning of the Celebrity Dairy back in 1987

The big king sized bed in our room named the Hattie Mae.

Attractive dresser in one corner of the room

This is actually a wall covering in the massive bathroom that had two full sized sinks with mirrors and a "double shower" bigger than any shower I have ever seen.

Our breakfast table that made it cozy for all of us to be at the table at the same time.

One of the fruit arrangements of canteloupe and pineapple.

A mound of bacon waiting for the other dishes to be brought out. Also a jug of grapefruit juice that was tasty. This morning we had pumpkin waffles, bananas with spices and pecans, eggs slow cooked with goat cheese and herbs that was the best eggs I have ever eaten. Brooke did an awesome job each time.


This is a new yard ornament that has been added since we were there before.

Parked out back was this MG with 1958 license plate on it indicating it was in Germany.


One of the resident cats that like to be rubbed.

Britt's complimentary alarm that wakes everyone up "early" in the morning.

The farm "Stud" that has his own pasture separate from the milk goats. He is allowed in there in August to breed but his scent is a little too strong to stay around the milk goats.

A friend for the stud so he will not be too lonesome away from the others.

Some cows that Britt has recently acquired.

The girls that supply lots and lots of eggs.

The king of the family.

You can tell it is close to milking time for her.

A visitor that I used my zoom lens to bring this close. He was about 6 feet long.

BBQ at the Lake




Thomas dived off this pier many times and really enjoyed the water.



This beautiful day brought out a lot of boat activity.







I love looking at clouds like this.







Plenty of shade kept the day very comfortable.













The star of the show.












One of the south's traditions, Brunswick Stew.



A bucket of bones after the meat was pulled off.



My personal favorite, the perfectly cooked chickens.



Another view of the pig



Can you tell, the plates were way too small to hold all the different dishes available.




The sweet & pretty Miss Haley Brooke.



Linda's brother Junior greeting his guests. He did an awesome job making everyone feel right at home.









In closing but certainly not least and thinking about Shady's love of animals, Junior's neighbors were there with their two beautiful Labs. The black one really enjoyed the water.
