Harley dog!

We were east again and this time we got to see our friends who we hope might soon be our neighbors. Not to mention we got to see our favorite of the mini dogs, Harley.
Part wookie, part ewok, all fuzz, just hysterical.

sneak peek

We are hoping this might be our first home. As we say, "fingers crossed".

the oldest, most famous... in the universe!

Really there is nothing else to say. The Bohemian Hall Beer Garden is truly one of a kind, and forever a favorite of ours. Not to mention this evening we got to reconnect with fantastic old friends and catch up over delicious pitchers of IPA and plates of food sure to fill up even the hungriest man. A win-win.

I Seymour puppy!

Congrats to our friends Jackie and Tony on the latest addition to their family. We had a blast playing with little Seymour today. French bulldog puppies, their a cute thing...

the Bedford Oak (it's no joke)

The Bedford Oak, surely a tree I need to see in person. It's about time for a road trip north. New York State rules.

Staycation Day 6 of 9: play date with Jodie and Ava!

Today I didn't have any plans so I got to travel over the bridge to Brooklyn to see my dear friend Jodie and her adorable little Ava. This is the full series for those of you that know this precious bundle of cuteness. The wind was howling but the sunshine felt pretty good!

As you can probably tell she is a full-on babbling riggle of a thing, and we couldn't have been having any more fun.

The word of the day: "cozy"
We were sorry that Dave and Krissy weren't with us, but we will organize another session soon, promise.
