As we’ll be doing for the next couple of days, we spent the day on the dog beach in Ocean Beach, San Diego. The pups do enjoy running around and behave incredibly well off the leash, but they opted largely Read more
For Sarah’s birthday we went to Pawmicon – which is a portmanteau of the two words “some dog owners” and “are out of their minds”. In this ComiCon for dogs, owners and their furry puppers dress up as their favorite Read more
We spent our last day checking out Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Truth be told, this stopover was really just our way of getting near the airport for a 6 AM Friday arrival (sorry, Zagreb, nothing personal). But as it Read more

Our final stop before returning to the lovely 120-degree heat of Palm Desert was in San Luis Obispo, a small college town that is very nice but honestly not much for photo ops. I took a picture of this sculpture Read more
