Adventures With Douglas: Balboa Island and Newport Beach




   On Sunday, March 12, 2017, I took Douglas to Balboa Island and Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California. This was his second time to both places. He totally enjoyed himself to the fullest out there! Whenever we go out, people will flock around to pet him and take pictures of him. Sometimes people will even chase us down to say hi to him. He loves all the attention from everyone. On this day, everyone had their dogs with them so Douglas got to make a few friends. Also, we even saw a few corgis! Balboa Island has a beautiful walkway that goes around the entire island. You get to see the cute beach houses, the downtown, and of course, the little cove that separates Balboa from Newport Beach. There is a ferry ride across the cove that is only $1. Although, I'm not sure if you can take your furry friend on the ferry. Anyways, downtown Balboa is absolutely adorable with cute shops and dining places. There are a few places that allow dogs to go inside but then there are places that don't. We just walked around today and didn't go into any stores. After spending a while in Balboa, we decided to head over to Fashion Island in Newport Beach. 

   Fashion Island is a very upscale outdoor shopping mall. Stores include Bloomingdales and Louis Vitton but also including stores like Forever 21 and Victoria Secret. We walked though many stores there and once again people, including employee, were flocking around Douglas. After walking around we decided to grab a bite to eat at Yardhouse. We were seated next to other dogs so naturally, Douglas made more new friends. He also noticed the people next to us were eating chicken so he decided to be rude and stare them down while they ate. He is so funny. After an early dinner, we decided to head back home. On the way home, he curled up in the back seat and fell fast asleep. I guess our little adventure made him tired!
