Toshi's (not so) Big Day Out

On Saturday, Dan and I had a fun filled day planned for Toshi.  The weather was perfect and since Dan and I have been missing downtown lately we thought it would be a good idea to take Toshi on his first big outing.  Miyagi always loved walking around downtown so we pretty much assumed Toshi would feel the same way.  The only thing we failed to remember is that he is only 16 weeks and Miyagi was 8yrs old. 

Our day began with a trip to Caffe Calabria in North Park.  Things started out okay, he was a bit overwhelmed with all of the traffic and people, but once we reached the coffee shop he was completely happy with hanging outside and enjoying the breeze.

Our next stop was downtown..We started at the convention center and then tried out the dog park at Petco Park.  Normally Toshi loves to play with other doggies, but today was not his day.  I think it was a combination of the warm weather and the new environment but Toshi was not a happy puppy. 

 

   

Since the weather was so perfect we were hoping to enjoy one more place with our doggie before heading home.  We decided to head over to Torrey Pines glider-port.  We thought the beach would help relaxing him and it seemed to do the trick. 

He definitely calmed down a bit and even enjoyed some water to cool down.  So happy we deiced to end out trip here, well almost end our trip here....we couldn't go all the was to La Jolla and not stop for some Sprinkles....Did you know they even have doggie cupcakes :)

best part of the day....

Although things didn't turn out exactly how we planned, we had a really fun day out with our doggie.  We will also be practicing our walks around the neighborhood a bit more before we head downtown any time soon.
