Me, my Dad and my dawgs

Towards the end if June, Dad and I took another road trip. This time we went north and covered 8 states, plus DC in two days. Highlights: visiting his old stomping grounds of Fort Belvoir, taking him to the Vietnam Memorial and ending the trip at Eataly in NYC's Flatiron District.

Living in the East Village

Back in the City for a couple of weeks, and this time we are trying an apartment in the East Village. A whopping 550 feet. Two small bedrooms, a living/dining room, 2 baths and a kitchen/laundry.

A terrific dog park/run across the street but most of all we got a glimpse into life in the ever popular neighborhood of the East Village. Famous for its artists, food, shopping and energy it easy to see why it is the backdrop for shows like Sesame Street and Friends.

Chimney Rock, NC

A blast from the past. I had not been there in over 10 years. So Dave and I took the dogs to the top. The park is very dog friendly however keep in mind that there are hundreds of steps to the top and can be difficult for small legs.

We drove around a little bit very touristy but still very fun and very family-friendly. We stopped for lunch at a café that was small but full of personality and good food, right across from the park entrance.
