There is such a thing as too much fun. Huck found that out the hard way this weekend. And I had vacation brain so bad last week, I couldn’t even make it through the whole of Hot Dog Week without getting distracted by the idea of fireworks, sleeping in and s’mores all weekend. So obviously, I’m here to pick up where I left off. Happy Hot Dog Week Part Deux? Yeah, we’ll go with it.

Huck celebrated with too much swimming, too much running, too much playing and a sad, limp, non-wagging tail to go with it. A labrador is only a labrador with his waggy tail!! It’s been three days and he’s still not back to his tail-wagging self. You know he played to hard. And that hip displaysia is a bitch. Yes, I said it.

But we can’t help but have too much fun when we head out to my parent’s place. It’s our western Washington equivalent of going back to the Palouse.  It’s hard not to love a place with utter calm, salty sea air, ospreys and eagles flying over the water, chirpy birds buzzing in an out of the cedar trees and the sound of splashing puppies playing in the surf. The neighborhood roaming bartender mixing up totally too-sippable drinks didn’t hurt one bit either.

Spending time with the folks is so easy, and relaxing. There is never a moment short on conversation, laughs and fun. Hours are spent kicking back and being a family, with no stress or no worries to be had.

I figure that’s just what a holiday is supposed to be. Don’t you agree?

Never having been to Philly, I’m hoping I don’t completely trash the authenticity of the real Philly cheesesteak, but I did my best with this hot dog version and I’m hoping that it will pass the test of a tried and true Philly connoisseur.  We went all the way with the wrapped and steamed bun, the provolone cheese – no, I didn’t have any whiz, sorry – and some caramelized onion and green pepper.

Ben even said last night as we polished off the last remaining hot dog from this week’s adventures that I have ruined plain hot dogs for him, because this last week’s Hot Dog Week has been such a home run. So if these dogs can budge that man out of his routine hot dog ways – you know they’re something special!
