Before we start this week's Travel Tuesday, I wanted to thank everyone for all the wonderful Birthday wishes yesterday. I had a great day, there were walkies and treats...and I even spent some time in CeCe(the wheelie house) with my sister, Sunny!
For some reason, Mama and Daddy were VERY happy about this(more about this another day).
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, Arty, let's tell everyone about Day One of what Daddy calls, Our Search for Warm Weather, trip!
First of all, it was a little weird. We didn't ride in CeCe(Mama drove us in the Rogue so we could make a few fun side trips), but we did stop and take a little break in CeCe on the way to our first camp ground. While Mama and Daddy ate lunch, I stood guard to make sure no squirrels or birdies came near CeCe!! After our little stop, it was only a little over an hour before we arrived at our first spot!
Our first afternoon and evening were spent at the Cloverdale/Healdsburg KOA.
This park exceeded our expectations in every way! We expected a little park with tight spaces and not much for us pups to do. Boy, were we wrong!!!
This park had beautiful trails to hike, with dazzling views of the surrounding hills and vineyards!!
It was so beautiful that Mama kept stopping and having us pose for pictures. Eventually I let her know enough was enough and gave her a big ole raspberry!!
After a while I got a little tired and Daddy carried me for awhile, isn't he pawsome?!!
Here is a pretty picture of one of the vineyards. See it way up on the hill???
After our nice hike, we stopped by this pond. It's the same one from our FFF post last Friday.
You see, Rosy read this sign.....
....and thought it would be a great place to "unwind" after our long day! Teeheehee, more like "wind up". Let's just say there was a little bit of barking going on after we saw the ducks!
After a nice dinner, we went out for our last walk before bedtime and just look at the beautiful sunset we saw!!
In case you were wondering, we didn't find any warm weather here. The highs were in the low 50s(F) and it got down into the 40s(F) at night. But the sun was out, making it seem a little warmer. That's a start, right?
After all the traveling and hiking, we were exhausted!
Rosy fell asleep watching TV with Mama and Daddy
...and I fell asleep in my fuzzy bed!
Stay tuned next week to see where our adventure led us and whether or not we found warmer weather!
PLUS,
Stay tuned Friday when Rosy will show you more of the nature we glimpsed here at the Cloverdale/Healdsburg KOA!
did you catch some ducks? maybe with duct tape? we always think we are in a kind of wonderland when we see that fabulous wheelie houses. we lovs your rolling home ;O)
ReplyDeleteWho needs warm weather to have an utterly wonderful day! And Arty, you are so right about your Daddy. He is indeed awesome. WE love his smile.
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots of walking fun. We did a ton of walking over the weekend just around our area and it was great! Happy travels.
ReplyDeleteArty what a fun x 87 road trip. If I had to guess I'd say your Dad gives the best hugs in California...heck maybe the US of A. Each time I see him hugging on of you I get a warm fuzzy feeling. You certainly found some sunshine. OMCs a miracle you and Sunny coexisting in a small space is HUGE.
