Coasting Along

I think my dog was the one who enjoyed himself the most. I mean how great is it to bring your best friend on vacation with you? I love that Belgians love their pets as much as they do. He LOVED walking on the beach every morning. It was like heaven for him to run freely on the beach (even though it’s technically illegal, but no dog owner abides by the law) and chase the seagulls from their morning gatherings. He’d try to catch them, but he’d come up short every time since he’d be slowed by sinking into the wet sand. I’m thinking one of the highlights of his week was sleeping in bed with me. The beds in the rental house were very low, so he could easily hop up without issue…He doesn’t sleep with us at home since the bed is too high for him to get into. He managed to hog the entire bed all week, but me being a sucker for his droopy eyes and lazy tongue…I gave in, and clung to a small slice of the bed for the entire week.

Overall, it was a good trip. I’m hoping everyone enjoyed themselves, and was able to enjoy each other’s company. We laughed, watched endless episodes of Go! Diego, Go!, played at the playgrounds, went out for ice cream, ate mussels, got shit on, and made footprints in the sand. I guess you can’t ask for much more than that…oh, and my mom and niece got to see a guy peeing on the side of the highway! Classic.
