We Hit The Road!

We are on our way to Camp USA!  We love it!  Little bit worried about Noodles as she is quite frail these days and I know for a fact the people are leaving to go on vacation.

Look at this poor woman at the ferry terminal.  Dead battery!  We have serious empathy as the last time we took the Coho to Camp USA, we also had to pray they could bring out the battery chargers.

Lo, and behold we arrived in PDX and they had a nice dinner with Mikey and Bronwyn.  We stopped at Costco to purchase some back ribs, but Bronwyn let us know Mikey had already purchased them.  Turns out he purchased St. Louis Ribs.  Hello, World!  Huge improvement over back ribs.  So delicious!

Janet and I went in the car down to Blue Lake for a nice hour long walk.  It was super.  Here I am in the car, getting ready to go home.

Because I am such a delicate flower, I can only put my front paws on the back of the car and need my back end lifted up.  Poor Noodles can barely cope with her front paws up, but we help in every way possible.

The people started to pack up and leave and we were pretty distressed about it.

Oh, man!  We are super sad!  Please say it isn't so!

I put my paw on top of Janet's hand as she said goodbye.

No, Janet, please don't leave!

OK...we'll be fine.  I've got Noodles back and by the way, have you considered "hand lift" surgery?  According to everything I've read, it's not too late.

No worries,  Janet.  We love Mikey and Brownyn so much and they love us.   You will be barely missed.

So, they went to London and stayed here:

Georgian House Hotel

The inside of their room.  They love this hotel and have stayed here before.

They were only able to stay for two nights.  The closest station to this hotel is Victoria Station, which is the only one they have used.  On the last day, they went to St. Paul Tourist Info to pick up their National Trust passes and suffered huge crowds.  On their return back to the hotel to pick up their bags, they went one station further - Sloane Square.  Huge improvement!  Great neighbourhood with nice shops and restaurants.

After they picked up their bags, they headed to Heathrow to pick up the car, via Sloane Station.  They had a great lunch at No. 11 Pimlico.

City corner with veggies at Sloane Square.

Charcuterie platter with Olive Tapanade Crostini.

Check out the bike rental racks and how about the "heart attack" stairs Janet climbed up.

This is at Heathrow, and yes indeed, Janet did walk up all those stairs!  Oxygen Lung waiting at the top!

Janet says there is so much to share with us that she will blog way more often.

Thanks, guys, for dropping by.  XOXO  Noods and Pash.
