Bringing Your Dog on Your Family VacationWe’ve written a lot about traveling with your kids (which makes sense, since that’s our business!) but we also speak with many parents who want to bring their four-legged family members along on trips as well.

Elsie has traveled with us to Washington DC, New York City, Vermont, and Acadia National Park to name a few.
