Traveling with your dog is one of the best things in life. Though, it can be hard to find a fun and unique place to stay that’s also dog-friendly…

As a dog mom to two (one small, one large) trust me– I feel your frustration!

Lately, Jason and I have been making our fall travel plans. But also, we have had to adjust because of current ~circumstances~.

That has left me exploring incredible fall adventures that are much, much closer to home. Which is fine by me, because now the dogs are coming!!
