for the dog who's going places™
Ahh, Santa Barbara. Only 2 hours north of LA, escape here and you’ll find blue beaches, upscale boutiques, colonial Spanish history and plenty of dog lovers! We just spent a weekend here and stayed at the luxurious Bacara Resort – now a Ritz Carlton. For a thorough dog-friendly Santa Barbara guide, check out my Getaway: Santa Barbara post. Luxury Mediterranean-style resort overlooking the…
We just got back from a weekend getaway in Portland (our first time!) and loved the drizzle. I had to make a pitstop at Personal Beast and found the most adorable raincoat for Fira! Luckily, the rain was off and on so we got some really cute photos and explored most of downtown. Portland’s all about their quirky individualistic vibe, foodie culture and picturesque…

We’ve never been before and only had a short time there but we had a beautiful time on this side of the island.

San Diego is a place that, even though it’s Southern California, it feels so far away (sometimes up to a 4 hour drive) so I actually haven’t gone that often. We recently had only 24 hours in this sunny city but we managed to make the most of it and rounded up our favorite San Diego dog friendly spots…

For some gorgeous photo ops, make sure to visit two iconic landmarks: the Old Mission and Courthouse. Get in your shopping and walking with the old Spanish style stores on State St; almost all are dog friendly. You can’t…
Have you traveled with your dog by car? Road trip, anyone? Road trips are sooo necessary. Something about the open roads, wind in your hair, mountains against a blue sky and wild fields 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…
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,…
