Well the next thing involves our dog Coco. I’ve been talking about it since we got her and we finally did it. We introduced her to the ocean and I went swimming with her. The hardest part of this exercise was finding a dog friendly beach where we currently are. Most of the beaches are… Continue reading #5 – 50 things for 50 years
