Well, here it is, our big news: Emmett is going on an EPIC road trip! And we hope to see you along the way!
As we’ve been compiling Emmett’s Bucket List, we realized that there’s no way we can do it all from Louisiana (or Indiana, for that matter). So, Emmett and I are embarking on a journey that will check off a ton of his Bucket List items and will include stops to see lots of his favorite people! We depart for Emmett’s World Tour from Louisiana on Saturday, June 7 – eep! I better start packing!
I’ll be unveiling the official Bucket List soon (#EmsBucketList if you’re on Twitter or Instagram). It’s hard to wrap it up because it feels final, I suppose, but it’s going to be so much fun! In the meantime, if you’re along our route, send me a message or leave a comment. I’m going to plan a few stops and meetups along the way, and we would love to see you!!
I have so many little details to wrap up, and I’ll keep you posted as we go. As you can tell from the map, there are a few main stops: Knoxville, DC/MD, Philadelphia, and New York. I may tweak the return route to hit new and different places but wanted to share this right away so that I could get closer to a finalized plan.
Whew!
Lots more details to come, but if you’re along the route and want to see Emmett, drop me a line!!
This is going to be EPIC.
Have I lost my mind?
Maybe!
But it’s gonna be fun! 🙂
OMG you made me cry in public again. I think that’s awesome, sounds like so much fun. I’m excited to see the sites you and Emmett visit and follow along on your adventure.
Aww! Thank you! I think he’s going to have SO MUCH FUN! And there may be some surprises along the way… 😉
We are between New York City and Philly! Hope we get to see you 🙂
YES! We have to!! I know we can’t stop in at Pet Age, but perhaps we can meet for lunch or coffee somewhere pet friendly?
Oh what a wonderful idea! I am crying a bit too, I have to admit, and I am in my office. Can’t the tour come West too;)
No matter what, wherever you go, Emmett is sooo loved — from everywhere!
Maybe that’ll be next on the list! 🙂
Depending on how long you take to complete the tour, I might finally be far enough east to say “hello”. I assuming you’ll be driving back to Louisiana, even if you’re not exactly re-tracing your path?
Yes, we’re going to have to come back… just in time to pack up the house and move to Indiana! 🙂 I think it’s going to be roughly 10 days. Keep me posted on where you are!
The most memorable things in life are the ones that seemed insane at the time. We know you will have a great time. Sorry we are so far away.
Thanks, Jan! Wish we could cross paths, too!
This is so sweet.
Thank you! 🙂 I think he’s going to have so much fun!
Is that I81 in VA? If so, poop. 😉 Perhaps if you accidentally veer off on I64 East and finish your trip on I95 North, beginning in Richmond? (kidding, probably)
How exciting for you all!
Who knows! We have lots of surprises lined up along the way. We will be in NOVA, but that’s probably too far!
When wll you be in NYC? I’ll be there during the last week of July through the first week of August. I’m guessing that’s too late 🙁
DRAT!!! So close!! We’re going to be there approx June 12. Can’t believe I’m missing you again!
I’ve always wanted to take my two dogs on a trip across the U.S. in a small RV.
I’m jealous! My previous two dogs, I should say… Hobie who is now 14 and not doing well, and Hector who passed away a few years ago. My other two dogs, who are still too young, are too crazy. Maybe some day I will do it with them. It’s sort of a dream I’ve always had. You go, girl!! Sounds awesome!!
An RV would be so fun. Honestly, Emmett’s the only one I could really do this with. The others will have to road trip to Indiana, of course, but that’s going to be a straight shot with minimal stops. They just get waaaaayyyyy too worked up! 🙂 Emmett, though, is going to love every minute of it, I’m sure!
How great!!! Crazy, yes, but FUN!!! I might have to see if I can get to NYC when you are there!
That would be AWESOME!! I should have the dates finalized soon, so will certainly keep you posted.
Wow. How bittersweet that tour will be. I hope that someway, somehow when you’re back in Indiana we can hook up. Until then, we’ll be virtually following along.
We absolutely do! Are you ever in Indianapolis? We’re often on the north side visiting my family (Carmel) and all my doctors are at St. V’s Indy. We’ll find a way to meet up!
I go to Indy one or two times per month!
Woohoo! We’ll definitely get together soon!
Yes, a little crazy, but exciting too. Congrats.
Thanks, Roxanne!!
You’re gonna have a blast!!
Yippee! We sure will! 🙂 Only wish we could cross paths. Ah, well. Nashville!
Oh, how cool! And so sweet. We are on the other side of the country, but used to live in Philly. There are some great parks there for dog walks. We used to live near Pennypack Park – it had a trail that ran along a stream for miles and miles. We used to go on fantastic walks/runs there with our beagle. Look forward to following your adventures. Big hugs for Emmett!
That’s great to know, Jackie! That will be so fun!
Count us in. We will meet in Philly. We just finished #FidoseAcrossAmerica
YAY! So excited to see you again! We were thinking about a stop in the Pet360 office. Perhaps we can get together then? Or something? We’ll work it out! YAY!
This is so exciting!! I bet you will absolutely love it! I am sure that your pup will too!!
Yay! Thanks! 🙂
So much fun. I think it is amazing how much you are doing. I cannot wait to read of your adventures.
Thanks, Rebekah! And even though we won’t see you on tour, we will definitely get together when we’re back in Indiana!!
What an epic plan. Emmett is going to have so much fun. Wish we lived on the east coast again so we could participate!
I wish we would cross paths, too! I’ll keep everyone updated with pics and stories from the road!
Wow, what a fun trip that will be! We are JUST past your tour final stop but if you want to go a little further, we are in Rochester, NY, and would love to see you!
Emmett’s never met a mini pig before!! I bet he would love that! 🙂
That is such a cool idea, Maggie. I can’t wait to hear more about it!
Sounds epic! When do you plan on stopping in DC? Maybe I can take the Singing Dogs on an adventure down there and Emmett can sing with them.
