Oh Aunties today was family day and mommy and me planned a trip to a little town called Occoquan, I can't Wait to tell you all about it!!

This way Aunties!

IMG_0169.JPG.d62579a9fa89e35ffac1384aab35ddec.JPG

it's really only one Main Street, no lights or nuthin! And brick sidewalks, very nice on my paws!! :)

This is the Main Street, but they didn't call it that probably cuz of the mill! Anyway lots of old places, but see the sign says there was a big fire and lots of the places aren't here no more.

Ooh an looky at this Aunties- mom an me thought this was something else-they used this rock to help us ladies outta the buggies back then!

Hey looky guys, I seen Lots of doggies down here today but here's one like Me! I ran over to meet him but ooh he doesn't have real good manners, he kinda scared me.. but his mommy says he's still a puppy that's why he's all bouncy!

IMG_0177.JPG

Oh Aunties the lady here at the museum was soooo nice, she let me come in with mommy and daddy so I could see the museum too! It was very nice with Lots of history that mommy an me read- daddy got us a couple of books too so we can read more! :) 

IMG_0178.JPG

We're coming up to water area now Aunties. Cato I know, as a hunter, you're gonna be interested in this and following the water for the game! This town is on the Occoquan river, which then flows into the Potomac river, which then goes into the Atlantic Ocean. So yeah the birds you hunt, when they run and get away, which I Know isn't often ;), they just go cross that Ocean and maybe, just maybe come here! We saw Lots of eagles, and geese and all kinds of other birds today- you woulda loved hunting them! :) 

IMG_0182.JPG

Heres the bridge they were talking bout in the history thingy above Aunties! And it's a foot bridge so we coulda walked cross it, but we didn't, maybe next time!

IMG_0184.JPG

Instead we went down to this Great park!! And waaay at the end, where you see that black thingy, that's the dam! There was Lots of water works stuff an daddy told us how it worked, cuz he's smart like that! :) 

IMG_0185.JPG

All I know is it's Gorgeous out here Aunties, such a nice breeze and oooh I Love looking at that water, very pretty!

IMG_0186.JPG

Ok Aunties- breaks over! Cuz I'm on a Mission now, come on!! 

IMG_0187.JPG

Oh first mommy wants to show you this gate, cuz she just Loved it!

Oh how exciting. I loved reading all about your adventures and the sights that you got to see. 

Your little black and white doggie friend did look a little bouncy...

What goodies did you buy from the bakery? Doggie biscuits maybe?

What a FANTASTIC day!  Thank you so much for showing us round the town, and for eating all that turkey for us.

Glad Daddy is doing so much better.  That is wonderful.  And I bet most of it is down to how much care you have taken of him, and how much love you have lavished on him.

Oh Auntie Angel the bakery was All just doggie treats and she had a little boutique I think mommy called it too! It was Wonderful!:ohyeah: and the bakery lady was really nice, she listened real hard when mommy said what I couldn't have cuz of my itching or tummy and she said I couldn't have any of the bakery stuff in the counter that was made cuz it had stuff I couldn't have in it.. But I could have these fish things cuz they're just fish, nice and dry and crunchy! From Iceland, is that by you Auntie?! Anyway look! https://www.chewy.com/plato-hundurs-crunch-fish-jerky/dp/135557?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=f&utm_content=Plato&utm_term=&gclid=CJzFgYbOqdICFZ2NswodK5sGbw&gclsrc=aw.ds

Oh Auntie Crystal I ain't never seen soooo many restaurants that could serve me and all in One place! There was even one that would bring me my own dish but it had lots of stairs to get to it and I didn't think daddy would be able to get there.. he said maybe next time! So we went to this one and mommy made sure I had lots to eat anyway! ;)

Missy, Lacey can be a bit bouncy sometimes. But I'm sure if she saw how you behaved she would copy you and be a good girl like you. 

Iceland is near us sweetie, I haven't visited there though. Donte and Lacey have eaten fishy chews and they love them... enjoy your fish treat. 

Cant wait to see you in your Easter outfit ? 

Glad to hear Daddy is getting better. ?
