This Memorial Day Weekend, Niko and I took a road trip on our own for the first time. I put him in the backseat with his doggie bed and brought a "diaper bag." Although I don't have kids, I now know what it's like to pack a diaper bag. I have a designated canvas bag that I use to put all the essentials for Niko whenever we go on a trip. I had a plastic container for water during breaks and plenty of poop bags. Niko is a great travel companion; he is not fussy at all and it's awesome to look back at that cute mug of his. He gladly listened to my bad singing and loves looking out the window and smelling the air outside. Here's a picture I took when I was a passenger on a different trip. I didn't know, but his ears are floppy in the wind!
The car ride was approximately 4 hours long each way. It's really nothing compared to the 3 month road trip that my good friend Joe is taking. Joe just kicked of his second road trip this weekend and I am psyched for him. Be sure to check out his whereabouts this summer at

His blog is linked on my blog, so be sure to check for updates on his whereabouts this summer!
