Preston got up early today and headed east to Fremont. With plenty of water and snacks packed, he was determined to conquer Mission Peak.

All ready to go! 8:30am at trail head.

Preston made it to the summit!! Elevation 2517 feet! It was so windy up there. Preston had a hard time keeping his eyes open (or even keeping his feet on the ground!) No time for sight-seeing, Preston had to start heading down before being blown away.

The 4-hour hike was made easier by the wonderful Grip Trek Boots.

Picking just one was tough. After lots of sniffing and licking, Preston finally made up his mind.

Preston entered the silly trick contest. Mommy was trying to get him to do the nike ball trick (one of the seven golf balls is Nike, Preston has to pick the Nike ball out and drop it in the box) Not only did he fail to do the trick, he was running around on the stage and completely ignoring Mommy (while hundreds of people were watching…) Mommy had to have little “talk” with Preston when we got home.

Preston met his look-a-like Maverick who was also one of Chelle’s puppies.

Can’t blame Preston. At such high altitude, Daddy and Mommy also had a hard time catching their breath.

San Francsico

by admin

Preston spent a weekend being a city boy in San Francisco. He was a little overwhelmed by all the people, noises and scents in the city but he did enjoy all the attention he got everywhere he went (So did Daddy and Mommy).
Preston was admiring the beautiful Yerba Buena Gardens from the hotel room on the 18th floor. (no poochies allowed in the gardens unfortunately). He could spend a long long time enjoying the view by the window.
