back from florida

We're back from our little visit to Florida to see family. Maggie had quite the adventurous trip!

Maggie having a snooze on the long drive

First we started with a 14 hour drive from DC to Orlando. Maggie took it all in stride. I am trying to get her to use this new cool bed that we bought so I put it in the car. She used it but just for her head!

At my parent's house she got along great with their cat Boo. Boo even liked Maggie!

There was a visit to my brother and sister in-law's house and Maggie fell in love with our niece's guinea pig Flower. She sat outside Flower's cage for hours!

Mid week we took at trip to St Augustine for our 9th Wedding anniversary. We stayed a B&B that was more kooky/old lady than it was cute and funky. But they always put you in the least cute room if you have a dog. Maggie didn't mind the decor, she thought the bed was snuggly and comfy!

We took Maggie to the beach for her first time! She loved splashing around in the waves and barking at the beach bikes!

Maggie and my Mom on our way out to lunch!

Then our trip was over and another long drive back to DC!

Claudine, your mom looks great in that photo. I know you were spending quality time with your family so I didn't want to bother you. Cameron is coming down at the end of Oct. Would be fun to hang out with both of you again!

My son just rescued a pup from Tennesee because I kept telling him about your posts of Maggie-that is the 3rd rescue in my life because of Maggie! She is just so cute and full of personality!
