3-Day Weekend!

I've been looking forward to this extra long Labor Day weekend... I hope that you have Monday off too and are able to relax and enjoy the last weekend of summer. It's great to get one extra day to do things that you don't have time to do during a normal 2-day weekend. This morning, instead of taking Tahoe and Ashley on our typical neighborhood walk, I surprised them with a car ride. Where did we go? Fountainhead Regional Park - Tahoe's favorite park!

Remnants of Hurricane Isaac were suppose to make their way through our area so we made our way to Fountainhead early to avoid the rain. It was warm and super humid - the humidity was 98%! The muggy heat did not stop Tahoe and Ashley from enjoying our jaunt on the trail.

Ashley was happy to be on the trail at Fountainhead

Although this pic is blurry, I can attest that Tahoe was also a happy pooch

Happy dogs at Mile Marker 1...

Still happy at Mile Marker 17!

O.k., I admit it. We did not walk 17+ miles. Mile Marker 1 is Mile Marker 17. The trail at Fountainhead is an out-and-back trail which roundtrip, totals 18 miles. So the Mile Marker post pictured above has a 1 MI on one side of it and 17 MI on the other side of it.

All in all, it was a nice little hike. I was glad to have the extra time to take Tahoe and Ashley out to a special trail.
