Elizabeth and I had weddings on back-to-back weekends in New York so we decided to make a 10 day trip out of it and spend some time in the City and some time at the beach house in Wainscott. Since we would be gone for a while, we decided to take the boys. Charlie has done the cross-country trip many times, but this would be Gus’s first trip on an airplane. Since they’re both little guys, they get to ride on the plane underneath the seats in front of us. But first, they had to go through security.

No, they don’t actually go through the x-ray machine, but this was a handy place for them to stay while we got the rest of our stuff out of the machine. They were both really good on the plane. We did cheat and give Gus a mild sedative…

Once in the City, Charlie showed Gus around some of the typical NYC sights like fire hydrants, food carts, and a Village Voice stand.

Charlie tried teaching Gus that little dogs shouldn’t walk on the sidewalk grates. Gus did make the mistake once and nearly fell through, but learned his lesson after that!

Gus was very interested in chasing the pigeons.

Some nice firemen in Greenwich Village let them check out an actual FDNY firetruck.

Charlie got to make a stop back by his old favorite day care at Wet Nose Doggy Gym. It took Charlie a minute to remember where he was, but then he was super excited to see his old friends.

They waited to take a taxi after a long day of walking and shopping.

(and couldn’t get picked up, so got hidden in a shopping bag until the taxi stopped and we were in!)

Then finally got to relax and take a well-deserved nap in the hotel bed.

Elizabeth and I definitely had fun getting back to the City and being tourists in our old hometown. I think Charlie and Gus had a good time there as well!
