After Scottsdale, our next stop was at a very familiar place. Yep, we were back in Winslow, Arizona, staying at the La Posada Hotel yet again.
Of course, this time we had, "you know who" in tow.
The place was much busier than we recalled; which I'm thinking is a good thing.
There are several dog friendly rooms in the hotel. As I've mentioned before, the room are named after various celebrities who have stayed at the La Posada. On this visit we had the Diane Keaton room.
It was quite large and spacious.
In spite of the place being rather busy; we were able to check in early. And once settled in; you know where the Missus needed to take JJ, right?
Yep.....
It was time for JJ to "Stand on that corner". Along with various other photo ops in Winslow and around the La Posada.
As for dinner. Well, when I made our hotel reservations, I was told that we could dine in the lobby right outside of the Turquoise Room. So, I made reservations and we had a table right in front of the bar area in the lobby. There was another table having drinks and later two more parties, both with pooches dined in the lobby as well.
I've already done several posts on meals at the Turquoise Room, that I'll just post some photos. It was as good as before.
And JJ seemed to enjoy himself as well.
After dinner; the Missus had to go back out again for more photo-ops.....
Before settling in for the night.
In the morning, we got some coffee in the lobby and of course guess where the Missus had to go to before checking out?
Sheesh...I basically did have to tell Her to "Take it Easy"...pun intended.....
After checking out; we headed east on the I-40 to the Petrified Forest National Park. I had read that the Park is one of the most dog friendly. We decided to first heading to the North side and the Painted Desert Inn area and get a bit acquainted with the park by taking the short Painted Desert Rim Trail.
The views were stunning.
And at first JJ was really curious.....
But soon, it seems the sun started getting to him....I'm saying the sunlight, because, well, it wasn't hot at all.....
He started to try to find shade under small little bushes and leaves.....so dramatic.
We kept trying to give him water....but he wasn't thirsty. Was this the same pooch who had just done a 5 mile walk with us in Santa Barbara a month before? We've kind of decided that "J" does not like too much sun....mister photo-phobia.....
So we cut things short and headed back to Winslow to grab an early lunch back at the Turquoise Room.
The Missus really likes that Lamb Pozole. And as you can tell; I like the salads here.....I know...me with a salad? Still, the Turquoise Room is pretty much a must stop for us when we're in the area.
