Our dogs Hudson (lab mix; male), Bunny (Red Carolina Dog, female), Domino (Cattle dog/Border/Boston mix, female) are our favorite road-tripper family! We make yearly trips to Mendocino where the hiking views cannot be beat and it's very dog-friendly. We have recently started to explore down the coast and stayed in Morro Bay while taking days trips to Paso Robles and Santa Barbara.
