We had a really nice day today visiting San Diego, CA. We started with a two hour drive from El Centro through some interesting terrain on Interstate 8. As many times as Chuck and I (before we met, and then together) drove back and forth between our home base in California and my family in […]

Comments OffMystère Cirque du Soleil
December 9th, 2009 Cheryl We just came back from seeing Mystère at Treasure Island, courtesy of Shadow winning Best Dressed Pet at The Great Santa Run last Saturday. THANK YOU, Shadow! What a great kid we have to give us such a great Christmas present. We felt so bad having to leave her alone at home to enjoy it. […]
Best Dressed Pooch in a Sea of Santas
December 5th, 2009 Shadow Today Mom, Dad, and I participated in the big Las Vegas Santa Run here in Las Vegas, to benefit Opportunity Village. Over 7,00 people signed up to run/walk today, everyone dressed in Santa suits – including some of my fellow dogs! It was weird, I tell you. Why would humans want to dress themselves, much […]

November 11th, 2009 Cheryl We celebrated Veteran’s Day this year here in Las Vegas with a very ‘Las Vegas’ thing to do – we went to a Casino! We’re not really into gambling (especially playing the slot machines which seems quite mindless and a waste of time to us) but we had to go to Silverton Casino today as […]
Outrunning the weather
October 27th, 2009 Cheryl We are currently staying at the Desert Eagle Fam-Camp at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV. So far the weather is great! It’s nice to have temps in the 70s and 80s again. We just missed the snow in Salt Lake City, Utah by a couple of days. Boy, we were cutting it close! Thunderbirds […]
Sight-seeing With Dogs
September 26th, 2009 Cheryl We went to Seattle’s Museum of Science Fiction and also the Museum of Flight during ‘free museum day’ today. We took Shadow along in her enclosed dog stroller. We did not advertise the fact that the stroller held a dog (it’s not obvious unless you’re really looking, or child height – they always seem to […]
Chuck contemplates a year on the road
August 17th, 2009 Chuck On 15 Aug 2008 we departed FL to begin our Full-Time RV experience on the road. After 19,000+ miles we have finally reached the Pacific Ocean (we took some short cuts on the way ). Shadow celebrated our 1st anniversary on the road by playing in the Pacific Ocean (see her post below) and we all visited […]
On the Beach in Klamath, CA
August 16th, 2009 Shadow I just love the sand and the beach. This time, I guess I was a little too relaxed and got a bit of a surprise. Why didn’t Mom and Dad warn me? I think they thought it was a bit too funny: Happy Tails!
MCRD San Diego 50 years later
We drove to MCRD yesterday from El Centro, where we are staying. 50 years ago when I went through the main gate I thought I went to Hell, but I was in Marine Corps Boot Camp. Only a few minutes after arriving I was standing on yellow foot prints painted on the deck. The next […]
