Last weekend we headed out of town for a
relaxing road trip down to Hope BC. It was mom and dad's 18th Wedding Anniversary. Wow time goes fast!
The Royals were very happy to jump in the truck and snap on their seat belts. After a quick road stop for a Royal snack and meds we were back on the road.
 |
| I think we're here Lady May! |
 |
| Thank goodness! 'cuz you keep stepping on me! |
Dad booked us an over night stay at a motel with a fantastic park right across the street. It's difficult for the Royals to enjoy as much romping time these days due to their aging leg issues. Still they were able to thoroughly enjoy the new smells, sights and sounds around the park area. There was a large playground full of happy children, which Lady May was not too pleased about but there were also some wonderful squirrel smells!
 |
| Yes, it rained over night and we were happy! |
 |
| The Royals had a little rest after the journey |
 |
| Lady May waited patiently for mommy to get her coat on. |
 |
| I found the exit! Let's GO! |
So off they went exploring all the wonderful smells. There were many dogs and lots of children. We stayed right by mom and dad. Lady May is NOT fond of children or strangers. ..but the smells.. oh those wonderful smells!
 |
| Heading in the opposite direction of the children! |
 |
| The Princess kept her nose to the ground the entire time |
 |
Mom and Nan found the perfect shop right across the street from us!
I dunno what they bot but they sure smiled! |
 |
| Aww, do we have to leave? |
Before we knew it, time had passed and it was time to head home. We packed up and snapped back into our seat belts. Mom has a favourite restaurant in Hope and dad made sure we stopped for a scrumptious lunch. If you're ever looking for a great place to have a snack, its at
The Owl Street Cafe. ( 'cept their accommodations dont take dogs! I know, drat eh?)
 |
A quick stop for lunch at the Owl Street Cafe.
YUMMY New smells yet again! |
 |
| Back on the road homeward bound |
 |
| ...sigh... when can we go again? |

So did the Royals ever find the squirrel? What a nice outing that was!
Moose and Fwirly used to love the smells in Hope. It smelled like the wilderness, hehe
Never been to that café but next time we are through the area we'll make a point of stopping.
Dear Lady May. I agree with you about children and strangers. And Squirrels! Love Maggie.
PS My Mama says Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad. And she says Mitzi and Eddie and most of her other previous dogs have been to that park - didya pick up on their scents?
The girls DID find the squirrel. Unfortunately for them, it was only once another visitor had found and TREED it! They sadly watched from a distance as the fun happened. All the running around the tree and up the sides. So much excitement!
Another time, another squirrel girls!
Hi Aunty Jean and Maggie!!
I knew I recognized a familiar scent. BUT The stinky Princess Mollydawg said it wasnt you!!
It's a wonderful park and I 'Hope' we can go back again. (((get it, giggle)))
