Winnie's homecoming...

We brought Winnie home on November 15 and introduced her to Wason - they hit it off immediately. Both are couch potatoes!! She is a brave, brave little puppy, already going up and down the stairs and jumping off the couch superwoman style. Wason hasn't quite decided what to do with her, but his tail is always wagging and he's been extremely sweet and gentle with her. More to come later!

A new puppy?

A little black lab named Winnie... we thought that Wason needed a friend! These pics were taken before we brought her home.

Creede, CO

Quick fishing trip to Creede - aka puppy heaven. Jeff fished, Wason played, and I was the dog wrangler.

When in Rome...

Roma!! Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Vatican, Roman Forum...it just doesn't get any better. Lots of wine, LOTS of good food...lots of sightseeing. I threw my coin into the Trevi Fountain, so hopefully I'll go back someday!

Dubrovnik

After an even longer journey... ferry to Naples, bus to train station, 2 trains to Bari, bus to port, and overnight ferry to Croatia...we at last make it to Dubrovnik, a city with a very cool walled in city center. Extremely beautiful and worth the long trip. Walking zombies, we make it to our room and immediately crash. After a short nap, we head to the beach for a few hours. Day 2, mostly spent at the beach. Feeling adventurous, we signed up for a "sunset kayak and wine tasting tour". Allegedly we would have a leisurely kayak over to this island where we would then have a lovely picnic and possibly some snorkeling... allegedly I say. It was a tad bit gusty that day, so our nice kayaking trip turned into a rather terrifying and very difficult journey trying not to crash into the jagged rocks of the island Lokrum. Thankfully there was wine at the end! Checked out the peacocks and the cliffs, no swimming or snorkeling due to the previously mentioned wind/surf. Another exhausting kayak trip back to Dubrovnik. Day 3, shopping, acquarium, etc. until our overnight ferry. Check out our dinner of pizza and boxed wine before boarding.
