I’ve been taking care of Ginger for a few days now while my mom is out of town and it’s been quite the job. After just one night, she decided she wasn’t happy staying in an apartment. So on Monday morning I packed her up and headed back into suburbia so she would be more comfortable. And I’m glad I did. I don’t think the neighbors would have appreciated her incessant yapping. Plus I know she’s not happy without her routine evening walk to the park. There’s nothing worse than an unhappy pup:)

On Saturday I dragged Frasier along to the Anti-Cruelty Society’s annual Bark in the Park – a 3-mile walk along the lake with your pooch to help raise money for the shelter. When my dad dropped us off, it felt like every dog in Chicago was there, but we quickly found our place and Frasier was a champ. He made it through the entire walk, and only stopped a few times; he was much more interested in sniffing the behinds of those in front of him:)

Prior to working across the street from the best Belizean food in the city, I had never really even ever tasted any type of island cuisine. Fortunately, Garifuna Flava is within walking distance from us and we regularly order there for lunch or special events. Today we took several neighborhood residents there and of course, it didn’t disappoint. If Belizean food is this good, I’d love to see what the country is like. And stay at the Ka’ana Boutique Resort – it looks amazing.

Every time I see an elephant (which, obviously is only at the zoo) I think of the Disney movie, Dumbo. But then I saw these photos of a baby elephant playing on the beach. This elephant is having such a ball — I wish I could teleport to this beach and join in the fun.

I’m not one to notice awesome, innovative architecture when it comes to hotels. Usually I’m fine with a clean bathroom, comfy bed, AC and a TV. And free continental breakfast, of course. But when I saw photos from some really sweet hotels around the world, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to stay in some of them.
