coffeedog

we aren't called "coffeedog" for nothing. we are coffee people and bailey is the coffee dog that loves to accompany us on our caffeinated journey.

she is the quintessential little coffee doggie; she just lies on hubby's lap and falls asleep. no fuss. no muss.

until we meet again my friends-

rules and regulations

there are a lot of rules and regulations to read before taking your dogs on the beach, but bailey has read them all and is confident that she knows where she is and isn’t allowed to go.

"it’s ok to go this way, daddy"

until we meet again my friends-

where's bailey?

until we meet again my friends-

san diego marina

"strolling the marina can be exhausting."

"being carried is so much easier."

come sail away 🎶

until we meet again my friends-

bird rock

not a day goes by that we don't have a cup of coffee. this holds true even while day trippin'.

daughter #1 lives in san diego, so she took us to bird rock coffee roasters, a small independent roastery. bailey approved of this dog friendly location and we approved of their organic fair trade coffee.

bailey! get off the table! we're not at home. BOL

{this moment} see beautiful: hms surprise

last weekend we drove down to san diego for the day and we ended up at the maritime museum.

this is the hms surprise. she was built in 1970 and is a detailed re-creation of the hms rose, a 24-gun british frigate built in 1757.

you may recognize her from her appearance in master and commander: the far side of the world with russell crowe ...

or from pirates of the caribbean: on stranger tides with johnny depp.

"yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!"
