If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some of the photos I shared there from our little getaway weekend up the Central Coast of California. For the record, a few days away from home are nearly always more rejuvenating than a week-long “staycation” (but I’m planning to take one of those later this summer anyway.) While we were away, I finished reading one book and started another, and managed to catch up a bit on blog-reading…but the only things I posted were those pictures. I’m preparing a few galleries to post here on the blog, but in the meantime, I brought you something–here’s a link roundup.

The shaggy fellow in the featured image with this post is Toby, a Golden Retriever mix adopted from China that we met on the beach in Morro Bay. He was having so much fun we have vowed to take Winchester to the beach this summer!
aw, cute puppy! We took Mackie to the beach on Sunday but he didn’t get to go swimming. He has been in fresh water before, but has never gone in the ocean. I definitely should take him there this summer!
We know Winchester likes to play in water, but we’re really curious to see how he’ll react to so *much* water!
