"Snarfs and snoozes," he said.
And so it was.
"Snarfs" because Gatsby rocked his summer of puppy training so hard that he is now even more fantastic and obedient than he was before. Sure, some folks at our office may have taken to calling him "Robo-Gatsby" for his military-like manner... but it's totally cool because any dog that can salute with his paw is a pup worth applauding*.
*Gatsby cannot actually salute with his paw.
"Snoozes" because we've damn near exhausted Mark this summer. Work issues, truck issues, camper issues... we're a hot mess and ready to get home... but not before visiting some of our favorite people, sights and snacks along the way!
First up, real-deal Dim Sum at Empire in Portland, Maine. It was such a hit with our kids that we didn't even have time to take any pics once the delicious food arrived, but adventurous eater Andrew did chow down on some jellyfish and discovered a new love for wonton soup.
Second, a promised McDonald's run to get Super Mario toys. Genius marketing.
Third, we made sure to meet up with Mark's super fun cousin Kristin and her hubby Shawn. Max was very happy.
Finally, a visit to the Udvar-Hazy Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, Virginia.
"This has been my best summer ever," said Andrew as he drifted off to sleep somewhere between the Florida and Georgia line. Now back to Naples for 2nd and 4th grade! Another summer in the books!
