Ding, Ding goes the Trolley!

I had quite an awesome weekend for Mom's Birthday. On Friday, we went to the airport and I got to use my super-sweet rolling luggage that my Dad got for me in Munich. At the airport, everyone thought I was just the cutest as I ran circles around Mom and Dad with my Felix luggage. When the AIRPLANE took-off, I was so excited. It was a great flight and I love to be with all those new people. Our weekend in San Francisco was so fun. I got to ride the Cable Car Trolley and run up the steepest hills that shouldn't be roads. I also dipped my toes into the ocean, mocked the former inmates of Alcatraz and gobbled up cupcakes at Ghirardelli Square.

On Saturday, we went to Sonoma and Napa Valley with one of Dad's oldest friends Sean and his new fiance Allison. They were so nice and I had a lot of fun playing with them and showing them my tricks. At one winery, I got to play with Moose, the English Bulldog/Labrador mix. He was so big and cute that I had to give him lots of hugs and kisses.

I also loved all the grape vines and olive trees. At night, we had dinner at the fanciest restaurant that Mom and Dad have dared to take me to at this young age. The food was fantastic and our patio table overlooked the large garden, vineyard and mountains. The sun was setting and I took that as my cue to show my belly to a cute little girl that was with her parents. She loved my six pack.

When the sun finally dipped below the peaks, the stars came out and I had to show everyone the great views of the night sky. One by one, I grabbed Mom, Dad, Allison and Sean and brought them out to the grass field to lie down and look up at the stars with me. It was just perfect. I really enjoyed Mom's birthday trip and can't wait to go back to California and see Sean and Allison again. Their little dog Robot was so cute, I think that he and Cooper would be great friends.
