What a Great Weekend!  Road Trip!!!

 

I love a good road trip.  This weekend we went down to Fort Lee, Virginia.  Actually, we went to Richmond and then down to Hopewell, but Fort Lee is right there.

 

I know. You're wondering why a Marine Corps family is going to an Army Post.  Well, that's where the Joint Course on Logistics is taught and we went down to visit dad for the weekend.

 

The best part of traveling is the hotel room and the all the junk food we can scarf up. 

 

In the hotel room, I jump back and forth across the beds, run around the room and sprawl out and take up half the bed when I'm sleeping.  Life is good.

 

Jack got a stomach ache from all the crap food we ate.  He's not used to eating everything he can get his paws on so he pulls up lame.  Actually, that's not totally true.  He just sat in the truck stinkin' up the joint.

Whew...

Me, I'll eat anything.  Doughnuts, treats, won tons, muffins, pretzels, you name it and I'm your dog.

 

In between all the fun we had to go tromping around Richmond.  I suppose its all part of the price of a great road trip.  The truth is, we got to see some cool stuff. 

On Saturday, we went downtown and saw the Governor's mansion and the James River.  Richmond is neat.

Lots of good smells and things to sniff. 

Sunday was even better!  Even though it was raining off and on, we went out to Monument avenue where all the historic homes and monuments are. After that we went to Petersburg Battlefield park.  Even though I had to be on a leash, we figured out a way for me to wander around.  Lock the Flexi, chuck it on the ground behind me, and I'm off.  That place was cool!

 

Unfortunately, the weekend is over now and we're back at home.  Jack's on the Couch stinking up the place and Mom's sitting on the couch holding her nose...

 

I Can't Wait For The Next Road Trip!!!
