Shawn and I spent the weekend in Rehoboth with Gaia, the wonder pup. We biked Saturday before embarking on our own version of a bar crawl (actually, we had a beer in one place, hoping they had a raw bar, then we walked to a second place that did have a raw bar, then we wandered somewhere else for dinner…you get the idea?). And a quick P.S. to the loyal planet four readers out there — the raw bar was for Shawn, not Sean.

Sunday we went down to the beach where Gaia was the star of the show. Several people commented on how much Gaia seemed to enjoy the sand and surf. She goes CRAZY for the beach. The only downside was the overly ambitious Delaware beach police, who had nothing better to do than stalk dog owners waiting for that inevitable moment when you drop the leash while your pooch barrels into the surf (when I say stalk, I mean it — po-po was literally sneaking around groups of people, hoping to nab a law-breaking dog owner). They got me two years ago, but not this time.

All in all, it was a great trip!
