Road Trip Commenced!

So we were on our way!  I had decided that we would go to Boulder, Colorado by way of Santa Fe.  (Mom always wanted to stay at Santa Fe but Dad would always keep chugging by whenever we passed Albuquerque on our way from St. Louis to Scottsdale.  That's why I said we had to stop in Santa Fe!)  So away we went.  I started as the navigator, checking out the windows to be sure we went in the right direction.  Sometimes Mom gets her right and left mixed up and sends Dad in the wrong direction.  But they seemed to have everything in hand.

So I decided to check in the cooler to see if there were any treats for me.  All I could find was Coke bottles and water.  Not even any carrots.  Rats!  (Why do people say "rats" when they don't like something.  Do they not like rats?  Why not say "Mouse"?  There are so many more mice in my world than rats.  But mice and rats are just cute little animals like me.  What's not to like?  I don't understand the English language many times.)

Whatever,  we're on our way.

And Santa Fe was very nice.  We stayed at a Hotel that Mom reserved on "Bring Fido".  That way we knew they would welcome me with open arms (and treats!).  It was called Las Palomas which means "The Pidgeons".  They try to say it means "Doves", but I only ever saw pidgeons. 

First order of business was to find a restaurant where we could all sit together.  Wasn't as easy as it should have been.  There were a lot of restaurants that were expensive, but they wouldn't let me in.  Didn't sit so well with me (and not with Mom and Dad either) so we kept looking.  We finally found "Fire and Hops" and the owner was really nice and said, of course we could come and he'd meet us at the gate to let us in the outdoor patio.  It was very nice and they brought me water and treats.  Always a plus for me!

The next morning, we ate at the hotel 'cuz it had a free breakfast.  It also had a pretty outside dining room where we could eat together.  Nothing better than eating with Mom and Dad.  (Especially, Mom 'cuz she shares a lot more than Dad.)

After breakfast, we were on our way again, headed to Boulder.  That will be the subject of my next Post, because, I'm a little tired and I need a nap!

Hope you have some fun travels this summer!

Love, G

Road Trip!

 WE are going on a road trip!  By WE, I mean Mom and Dad and Your's Truly.  I'm ready.  I don't always get to go.  If they go somewhere like St. Louis (which they did), I don't get to go 'cuz Mom says she won't put me on the plane.  She says I can't stay in the seat with her.  I don't know why not.  I sit on the couch with Dad all the time.

Anyway, Dad's been trying to figure out where to go.  (He's a little bit stir crazy, 'cuz we spent most of 2020 at home on account of the COVID and stuff.  He's been planning lots of trips, but everytime he finds a place to go, and Mom makes the reservations, he changes his mind and we start all over again.

So I decided that I would help him out.  Last night I got on the couch with him and we checked out the maps of the US to find just the right place to go.

I have a better way of doing this.  You see, what he does is look at all those tiny roads and tries to figure out where they go.  Then he gets frustrated and Mom goes to the computer and figures something out.  But me?  I just slap my paw down on the map, and that's where we should go.  

So that's what I did and we ended up in some place called Boulder, Colorado.  So that will be our next trip.  They're having a "heat wave" right now.  It's been getting up to the 90's and high 80's.  Those people don't know what a heat wave is!  I'm not going to tell you what it is here in Scottsdale.

But anyway, we're going to get out of this heat sometime in the near future.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Hope you have some plans to get out of the heat!

Love, Guinness
