How It All Began......

How this blog got started....in the picture that is Rexie on the left and Lily on the right and of course me in the pink jacket.  I know you didn't think the two dogs would be typing this but then again you never know these days (they are teaching dogs to drive cars). Oh and taking the picture is hubby, yes while driving.

A few weeks ago hubby came home from work and said his parents asked if we would like to go on vacation with them and his two sisters and their families to the east coast.  After much talk about would this fit into our schedules, what about the dogs and we knew the boys wouldn't go; they work and are doing their own thing these days.  We decided why not lets figure out a way to make this work we could use a vacation.  So the planning and trying to figure out what to do with the dogs began.  Even though the two dogs are both small not every one excepts them. And we found out recently the two don't do well in hotels; makes for a sleepless night because two dogs on high alter don't sleep either.  We knew we couldn't have someone watch them because all we would do is worry about them being over feed (again) and what if they run off and ended up on the county road dead or if we boarded them Rexie may bite a worker and we would get the call to come and pick him up he is being tossed out of the pet hotel and so many more situations that could happen it's exhausting to even think about them much less blog about them.  

Now what???  

That is when we started to brain storm like mad.  What about if we rented an RV, it would be like we have our own place and there has to be places we could pull over to sleep and once we are there the dogs would be use to the RV and they would sleep and feel comfortable right?  Nope now everywhere we go you're driving around in a big RV and by the time you add up rental fees for the RV and the gas heck we could by a small place (not really but you get my drift).  Keep brain storming....... what about cabins in the area at a KOA, but do they allow pets?  Google search started and yes we found some KOA's that allowed you to bring your furry friends.  So close to where the rest of the family will stay is a KOA that allows pets in the cabins.  Then we started to think wait now is this really a vacation if were going to rough it in a cabin with no bathroom and no air condition???  With more searching we found cabins that were what they call deluxe cabins with linens, bathrooms, small kitchenettes and some that are climate controlled.  Now it's looking good again.  Now the goal was to find KOA's on our route to break up the drive there and back and we did.  Looks like we are set and ready to go with two in tow!!!!!

Then the comment was made we should sign into Rexie and Lily's facebook account (yes they have their on page) and document the trip.  And I took it a step further and said why not make a blog!  

So this is how it all began........................

This is not their first adventure last year they went with us when we went camping and took a cano ride down the river.  This should be fun, crazy and what the hell am I thinking driving two days in the car with these two.......

Stay tune for The Adventures of Rexie and Lily!
