So much walking

Cassie and I spent all day outside yesterday, and today we're both pooped. We spent about 30 minutes at the dog beach before getting lunch at the Dock, the outdoor restaurant at Montrose Beach. Did Cassie enjoy the dog beach? Oh, yes she did:

From the Dock we walked 5.1 km along the lake to the new Duke of Perth:

From there, we headed home, but wouldn't you know we got distracted by the beer garden at Begyle Brewing?

By this point we'd walked over 3 hours and covered 15½ kilometers, so Cassie took a well-deserved nap:

Altogether, we walked 17.9 km (11.2 miles for the 19th-century crowd) over 3½ hours. Today we're taking it a bit easier. But Cassie was excited to take her morning walk at 7 am, so she clearly has Weimaraner-grade energy reserves.

What a delightful day! It sounds like Cassie had an absolute blast at the dog beach, and the walk along the lake to the new Duke of Perth must have been refreshing. It’s always wonderful to spend time outdoors, especially with such good company. I’m sure both of you deserved a good rest after all that walking. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures!

The weather this coming weekend looks spectacular, so I've promised her we'll go to Horner Park. That's about a 10-kilometer day, unless we want to go farther. How did you find this blog?
