for the dog who's going places™
Road trip, anyone? Road trips are sooo necessary. Something about the open roads, wind in your hair, mountains against a blue sky and wildfields stretching for miles and miles (or yellow flatlands–depending on where you’re going). There is always that certain tinge of remembering something you didn’t know you missed (classic American nostalgia?) and gratitude for the kindness of strangers. I’ve…
Only 80 miles north of Los Angeles lies a picturesque, off-the-beaten-path little town called Ojai. Nestled in between the Topa Topa Mountains with hiking trails, biking and rural nature, Ojai is one of the most dog friendly places in the state! (And we know–we live here!) There are ranches here, olive groves, wineries and farms (taste the amazing fruits of labor at the…
On our roadtrip to pick up baby Fira in Missouri, I knew we definitely had to make a stop in Marfa TX. It’s a tiny town (population: 1800!) filled with artists, writers, singers, poets and just a quirky group of people. I loved it. First stop was PRADA MARFA! We stayed at El Cosmico–a 21-acre campground with teepees, caravans, trailers…
One of our favorite getaway places has always been Ojai Valley Inn (only 80 miles north of Los Angeles). You really can’t get much better than this! It’s one of the most magical places on earth. You have the wondrous views, the famous “Pink Moment” sunsets, the blissful spa, an award-winning golf course, complimentary bicycles, three pools, several different restaurants and bars, yoga, meditation…
Croft Alley. 8428 Melrose Pl. Love this little hidden gem. This rustic spot is tucked away behind Alfred’s Coffee in a charming courtyard down some steps. Yummy breakfast, sandwiches and salads. After lunch, take a leisurely stroll with your pup down the enchanting Melrose Place. Hart & Hunter. 7950 Melrose Ave. The first word that pops to mind when I think of Hart &…
San Ysidro Ranch has always been on my list of places to stay and my guy definitely knew that, so for my birthday he says to pack a suitcase and that we’re going somewhere. We drove north as I was trying to guess–Santa Barbara? Santa Ynez? San Luis Obispo? Long story short, the directions he printed (MAPQUEST–oh god) weren’t exactly…
One through five, most dog friendly places in the country, I’m gonna give Idyllwild a TEN! Idyllwild’s mayor is a golden retriever named Max. I mean, c’mon. Nestled in the San Jacinto Mountains (only about 2.5 hours away from Los Angeles), you can get all the things you’re missing in LA! Pine trees, clean air and nice people–I kid, I…
