Well, it’s been 4 months since we were last in Miami, and now we are in San Diego, CA. I really don’t have a big yard to play in here, but at least the weather is still nice. They tell me that I won’t be staying here too long, so I am sure I will be fine. The move wasn’t bad today, I slept most of the car ride over…it’s almost like they gave me a sleeping pill or something.

To go on their own field trip. How horrible is that? They came back talking about going to the Grand Canyon and having such a great time, but I had to stay inside all day. In the end I did get to go lay out in the sun for quite a while, and then took a nice long walk. I do love the big dog parks at this place, always plenty for me to go sniff out.

Sunday night we left for Houston-late Monday we arrived. We finished the jobsite mid-day, rested for a bit, then hit the road for Dallas. Odd, we passed through here not 24 hours ago. Even odder, is that we are to work here Wednesday and Thursday, and then Friday we get to backtrack even more-to Wichita. Don’t even get me started on next week.

Anyways, for simplicities sake, we left the slide in yesterday at Houston. While we definitely missed the extra space-it was surprisingly livable. The biggest drawback was lack of access to the pantry…but that’s okay because I finally had a chance to stock up on Boars Head! I’m happy again.

If we end up with a bit more time in the next few days, I’m going to try to get the photo gallery setup on this page. It looks like we have lost familyphotolibrary.net for good, or at least for a good long while. Anyways, I’ll try to keep you updated.

Although, aren’t we always home? That’s why they bought the trailer, right?

After 3 long days of driving, they turn around and leave me alone in the trailer all day. I guess they were moving out of the house. I haven’t been back there in a while, but it was time to move all of our stuff out. When they came home, they were filled with stories of police and irate worthless tenants. I’m glad they dealt with it, so I didn’t have to! Now we are just trying to see everyone we can, while we wait to find out where we go next!

Well, I’d like to say that we fell in love with this city, but it just didn’t happen this time. We came up to San Fran towards the end of last week. We booked a spot at the San Francisco RV Resort in Pacifica, CA. Our spot literally overlooks the Pacific Ocean. There is only a 90foot drop to the beach, and then another 20 yards- and you have ocean.

Anyways, we decided to get out and try to see the town last Saturday. We booked a tour of Alcatraz and then a ‘Taste the Town’ tour.

The Alcatraz tour was amazing. I guess the first thing we learned, was that we shouldn’t take our history of the island from the movie “The Rock”. The island is the proud home to the first light house on the West Coast…as well as a variety of birds and plant life. Seeing the prison was definitely interesting-but learning about what else happened on the island was what made the trip special. Pictures from the tour are available under the links.

After that we took a 1.5 mile ferry ride back to shore and headed to catch the beginning of our next tour. To begin, let me say that I took one of these a few years back, and had a blast. Not so much this time around. Karen and I were bored out of our skulls within about 20 minutes. We started with some amazing coffee, and then the group gathered around the coffee roaster for a lesson on how coffee is prepared. Little did we know, this was going to turn into a 30 minute history lesson on the city. Not that I’m against learning the history of the city, but I paid for a FOOD tour.

Okay, enough of that whine. We walked around for about 3 hours and sampled some of the highest quality foods in the town. It was a very interesting adventure for our palates, and tried several new things. By time it was over, we were ready to go kick back and relax. So-we started the long walk back to the truck.

Of course we get to the truck, and realize someone has tried to break into it. I’m now out a window, and we have a sour opinion on the city. I’m sure it isn’t fair, but all it takes is one little break in for me to move this next to Houston on my list of places I’d rather not be. We’ve spent nearly a hour a night walking Willy down on the ocean, and that has been great for him. We’ve all had fun here in the park, but have no desires at all to go back into San Francisco itself.

Justin made a few changes on here. He decided that since the 3 of us were eating such great food, he would put it all up on my page, and give everyone else a chance to make their own. In doing this, he took away my time down at the beach today. I guess I can forgive him, because we did have some really good chicken tonight, and I didn’t care to go play in the rain anyways. The other night we were watching whales play in the ocean…I think I might like to try to chase them sometime. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll just have to keep playing with the other pups down at the beach. Well, I’m going to bed, the storm is making me tired. Enjoy the changes to the page!

It took FOREVER, but we are out of Houston. Justin and Karen already seem a LOT happier. It took us almost 2 full days to get to the new place, but they said I will like El Paso a lot more. I’m already a fan of it. There is a really big dog run, but it’s all sand. It might be fun for a while, I’ll have to see. The weather is hot. hot hot hot, and there is no grass anywhere! I tried to lay outside, but I had to be under the trailer to get any shade.

Willy.
