Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
We’ve spent some time recently in St. John’s (it’s only about an hour away, so it’s not a big deal to travel back and forth), and so the goldens got to enjoy some city-time, too. Here they are in Bannerman Park, where they have finished a skating ring that is just beautiful. Lots of skaters with big smiles. Newfoundlanders sure know how to make those most of out (even a bad) winter!
Here’s some shots from a rare afternoon off, when The Berry and I went for a drive to Salmon Cove, goldens in tow. Less than a half hour drive from the cottages, it’s quite the spot! It has a beautiful park, sandy beaches, beautiful scenery, a great trail and the perfect spot for picnics – summer is going to be great!
The dogs loved the beach and water, met new friends and played to exhaustion. And we were refreshed, pulled back from the brink of exhaustion, and reminded again of how lucky we are to live on the beautiful Baccalieu Trail. For more pictures of this beautiful spot, please see the album on our Facebook page. 
Well, if you read Jerry’s Man Hands post last week then you know Jerry was busy with renovation work, and believe me – the dust was flying. And all the while I rested listening to Christmas music in front of the fire place downstairs – living the dog’s life. Those humans – have they got a lot to learn.
So I finally convinced Jerry to take a break and take The Berry for a walk in Bowering Park – very altruistic of me. It was supposed to be all about them, so I pretended I didn’t enjoy bounding through the trails, splashing in the Waterford River, and exploring where my previous humans used to take me. But I really couldn’t contain myself when I saw the ducks. I really wanted to catch some – must be genetic.
Ah! Bowering Park – it really is the jewel of St. John’s.
