Best Dog Vacations Near Me – There is something about January that just makes you want to sit down on a calendar and plan a bunch of trips for next year. It’s so cold and dark outside that it’s so satisfying to curl up with a laptop and plan an adventure.
Although we put our big international trip on hold during the pandemic, we enjoyed getting reacquainted with the Seattle area and its wonderful (and dog-friendly!) vacation. After living in New York and Chicago for ten years, it’s been fun to come back and rediscover old favorite vacation spots, as well as see the new, innovative glitz, boutique hotels, and unique Airbnbs that have opened here. My favorite part was seeing how many of them chose to stay with the dogs. I’m even happier if we can take Dave and Lizzie on holiday with us.
