Malibu Molly

Am I the only kid who grew up in the Springfield, MO area who still sings this in their head?  (Like, all of the time?)



We recently took a little road trip to Malibu and you better believe I sang this the whole time we were there.

Probably the most exciting thing about visiting Malibu was that it was Molly's first road trip! We had Molly for about 4 months and we had been slowly working her up to a road trip by familiarizing her with the car:

and taking her out to a few new places around town:

When Eddy's work trip to Malibu came up, we thought we would see how she did traveling. She had tons of new experiences like drinking from cups when we forgot the travel water bowl in the car,

and lounging on hotel beds.

She also got to spend a day at the beach

and a day hiking around Solstice Canyon just off of the PCH.

But everyone's all time favorite thing we did on this trip was visit the Madonna Inn (twice).

We stopped there for lunch on a whim, and whoa boy, was this place ever crazy. They're known for their (BRIGHT!) pink champagne cake, which we figured would be gimmicky and whatever, but was totally delectable.

They are also known for their over the top Swiss Alps decor. This shot from the ladies' room is just the tip of the iceberg.

Our canine companions especially enjoyed touring the grounds and communing with the horses.

We can't say Molly's first road trip was without worry face,

but we can say we are proud of how brave she was. We can also say that she slept for about a week after we got home.
