Ohio/Michigan Trip Pics - Part 1

Okay, here are the pictures and "tails" from our Ohio/Michigan trip.

We left FL on Wednesday, May 17th - around 2pm. Arrived in Ohio the next day at around 9 am.
We weren't allowed to check in our campground until 3pm, so we drove around to many state parks in the area. We ran into some nasty weather. When we finally arrive to our campground, the site we were given was under water! They gave us a list to chose a new site, so we did. The campground was very nice. We had few neighbors, because of the weather/timing, but the neighbors we did have loved Kiara!

The campground also had a doggie beach which Kiara and I took full advantage of. There were even dog poop bag stations around the park - so dog friendly!


Anywho.. a lot of our days were spent by water - no matter how cold or how hot. Ki swam and swam! I will continue the tails as I go thru pictures in the next few posts. Be sure to check out the other threads as well...

I think this was at the welcoming center to some state - they had a HUGE area for dogs!

Back at our campgrounds, they had paddle boats you could rent. Ki went out with us. People on shore, as we went past, were asking about her and making comments about her =)

I think that's my favorite from the whole trip, of her of course. I have so many of her that I didn't post in these threads, though.. I may make her a seperate thread. :)


Thanks everyone!

I LOVE the picture of Kiara in the flowers. :) Looks like she had lots of fun.

Great pictures Kay!

You guys look like you had a good vacation. I really enjoyed Pawzfest. Love that little Sophie! What a cutie. Sophie is a name I have picked out for whenever I get another female pup ;).

Hehehe...Alden was so surprised when I told him Katie had climbed up on the picnic table :p

And you got to meet Katie too! boy oh boy are you one lucky gal! :D

Great pictures, Kay. And it sound like such a great vacation. Travelling around in the camper visiting parks with the pup. Yeah, sounds like fun. :)
I am not sure why, but I think Ki looks so little in this picture.

Great pictures as always. That campground looks very pretty.

Yes Sue, I am so very lucky. Katie is one of the most snuggable doggies ever. Even though the brat wouldn't give me a kiss! :p

I'm glad everyone's enjoying the pictures...

I can't get back into my normal routine.. it's going to suck going back to work!

Great pictures, Kay!

Were there any tules posted at the parks about letting the dogs swim? I have been lookingofr a place to take the dogs that isn't too far away!

Looks like KiKi had lots of fun!

Wow it looks like Kiara had fun!!! Very cute pictures!! Sophie was absolutely adorable! :D I can't wait to see the rest *runs over to check next thread*.

LOVE this one!! http://petevents.com/~simba/OhioTrip2006/20.jpg

Wonderful photos, Kay. Looks like you and Ki had a great time! I love the second photo....looks like it should be an ad for frisbee's or something. I love how she is up there with the frisbee and there is a field behind her that blurs out....very nice.

Awesome beyond words! Kiki is the most photogenic girl! I was really impressed you got her to stand on that rock! And a tinge jealous you got to meet Tori and Anna and Mark,,. next year for me, i hope..!

Great pictures, Kay! Looks like you and Kiki had lots of fun.

Willie :)

Thanks guys!

To be honest, we didn't look that hard. The areas we let her swim, we'd look for a sign but none were posted in those areas, so we just let her. Worse comes to worse, if someone said something to us we could blame it on us being tourists, dry her off, and head on to another place. :p

Wow, GREAT pictures! I can't pick a favorite!
Mind if I ask what kind of camera you use?
