New Bedford Vacation

Last summer I went on a dogriffic vacation to New Bedford, Massachusetts. We stayed in the dog friendly Octagon House B&B. In our room there was a doggie bed and a basket of biscuits waiting just for me. There were many sites to see in this historic whaling city. We went on a walking tour of the New Bedford National Park. There are restored cobblestone streets, buildings and even the Seaman's Bethel from Moby Dick. At the National Park visitors center, we found guides for several self-guided walking tours of the city. New Bedford is home to two beautiful dog friendly parks, Fort Taber Park and Buttonwood Park which we also visited. One of my favorite things was the Harbor Tour where I got to ride in a boat!
