I have had so much fun in Hawaii. We went to Volcanoes National Park and I was lucky enough to see Kilauea erupting. Spectacular and a little scary! A once in a cheetah lifetime experience.

11/09/2023

I’ve been in Hawaii this week. Today I visited Pearl Harbor, the Arizona, the Bowfin (a submarine), the Missouri where the peace treaty with Japan was signed, and the aviation museum. I saw a Stearman biplane, like the one I flew in, except it’s pilot had been George W. Bush. It was a long and wonderful day, but my paws are tired!

Today I went to Siesta Key Beach in Florida with my mom. It was a beautiful day! The water is getting clearer (it was murky because of Hurricane Ian) and you could find seashells easily. Mom found some good ones, and she saw a little tiny sea snake, and a sea urchin. Ii liked finding out about the flags they fly at the guard towers. They flew green and purple. Purple because two stingrays we're sighted in the water. We didn't see them.

30/09/2022

I am down in Tampa, FL visiting grandma and grandpa. Hurricane Ian didn't damage their house but destroyed three of their neighbor's homes. We don't have electricity or hot water, but we are fine. Hurricanes cause a lot of damage and we aren't even close to the ocean.

14/06/2022

I'm on my way back to Denver. I had a nice time in Florida. I went to the beach four times, Ybor City, and a Tampa Rays game. Here are some pictures I didn't post.

07/06/2022

Tonight I'm visiting Tropicana Field in Tampa, Florida. We are watching the Tampa Bay Rays vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. They have a Ray Museum inside the stadium. I loved that they illuminated the dome in red, white, and blue during The National Anthem. Go Cardinals.

05/06/2022

Today I visited a U.S. Merchant Marine Museum in Tampa, Florida. It is aboard S.S. American Victory, a cargo ship used in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. I could climb and explore everywhere. So much history!

02/06/2022

Today I'm having a ball visiting the Tampa Bay Baseball Museum and home of player and manager Al Lopez. It is in Ybor City.

21/05/2022

Today my friend Sandy Seal and I visited the International Independent Showmen's Museum in Riverview, Florida. It was filled with old items from carnivals, circuses, and medicine shows. It is a great place to visit!

06/03/2022

Today I visited Nick's Cafe in Lakewood, Colorado. It's a small cafe dedicated to the memory of Elvis. The owner is the man who served Elvis the famous Fools Gold sandwich. I got to meet the owner, Nick Andurlakis and a female Elvis impersonator, Shelvis. Sadly the cafe is closing March 10th. So what is on the famous sandwich you ask? It is a loaf of sourdough bread slathered with margarine, filled with a jar of creamy peanut butter, a jar of blueberry preserves, and a pound of crisped up bacon, covered in more butter and baked. Elvis ate 3 of them!

It is with a heavy heart I am telling you about the passing of a great and inspirational dolphin that I met last year. Winter, the bottle nosed dolphin, whose story was told in Dolphin Tale. She passed away today at the age of 16.

23/10/2021

Today we visited my favorite beach, Clearwater. It was a beautiful day? We collected shells, including a big whelk she'll that is 6 inches long. We saw some cool ships and a lot of pelicans and seagulls.

18/10/2021

Today I visited Dinosaur World on Plant City, Florida with my good buddy Polar. We saw lots of dinosaurs and it was in a beautiful tropical park. A perfect place for dinosaurs. They also had a museum, a place to discover minerals, and a place to be a paleontologist (play).

16/10/2021

Music from the Pumpkin Patch Festival.

16/10/2021

Today Polar and I visited the Pumpkin Patch Festival in Bradenton, Florida. We went through the corn maze and survived, ate some lunch and looked around. There was also good music for us to shake our tails to.

12/10/2021

Sunday we traveled back to Tampa, Florida. Grandpa fell and is the hospital. My good buddy, Polar, came with me. He is super excited to see the ocean. We went to Davies Beach near the hospital. It's more of a seaplane harbor.

30/09/2021

One of my last stops in Nebraska was in York. We stopped at Lee Batterton's Marble Museum. He has over one million marbles! They are beautiful. Mom bought several. She purchased a sulphide marble with a cow inside, a pretty hand blown marble, and three uranium marbles (they glow under black light). Mr. Batterton was so nice and he came over to meet me and shake paws. His assistant, Michael, is also very nice and helpful. If you get a chance go visit the Marble Museum.

Chester of the Corn. Boo!

25/09/2021

Today was a full day of Junk Jaunting in Nebraska. I met a raccoon, named Charlie, and a lot of nice people. We saw lots of cool junk.

23/09/2021

First stop is Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Staying with Aunt Laura and Uncle Vince. We are going in their RV. See if you can find me in the garden.

23/09/2021

First stop is Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Staying at Aunt Laura and Uncle Vince's house. We are going in their RV. Look for me in the garden.

22/09/2021

Today I'm headed to Nebraska for this weekend's 350 mile Junk Jaunt. Mom is looking forward to antiquing, but I'm looking for new people to meet and Roadside Oddities. Yay! Road Trip!!

06/09/2021

I am back home now. I had a wonderful trip and met lots of nice people, especially on my train ride. I did do one more thing and that was I went to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. It was a lot of walking but so worth it. It was beautiful. I went to see the bats at night but only a few came out of the cave - NM is suffering a drought so not as many bats emerge from the cave.

04/09/2021

Today we left Durango and headed towards Glenwood Spri his (Mom's favorite). We passed through Delta, CO and discovered one of the Roadside Oddities (website). The Old Car Lineup. It was pretty cool.

02/09/2021

Choo choo!

02/09/2021

Today I am in Durango, CO. We are riding the narrow gauge train to Silverton. It's a beautiful trip with lots of friendly people.

02/09/2021

Yesterday we left Roswell, NM and went to Carlsbad Caverns. Here are some of my pictures as I headed to the cavern. McDonalds in Roswell is terrific, and everyone dresses nicely and they have director of hospitality.

31/08/2021

More photos from Roswell.

31/08/2021

Today I went to Roswell, New Mexico. I was hunting aliens. I found a lot and I had fun.

Chester is on vacation. Today he visited beautiful Wolf Creek Pass. What a view! Then he went to the hot springs pools at the Spa Resort. So relaxing.

Tonight I went to Crush Night Out at Sports Authority Field. It was for Women only and the ladies liked me. Drew Litton, fun music, sports players, and I got to see the stadium and hang out on club level. It's good being a traveling cheetah!

Today I spent the day at the Roberts family sheep ranch in New Castle. I learned how to irrigate, drive a swather, and had antelope for dinner. It was awesome! Thank you Kevin and Amy for everything!

I had such a great day exploring Rifle Falls, New Castle, and Silt. Mom is participating in a Summer Agriculture Institute. Today we learned an water, irrigation, water diversion, ranching, and farming. Let me tell you, these people work hard to bring food to your table!!

I had another wonderful day on my vacation. Today we were in Branson, Missouri. We went to see, Hits of the 60's and 50's, which was fun! They even pulled my grandpa on stage and made him part of the show. He was a good sport and liked the attention. Great music to shake a tail to!! Tonight we saw Patsy Cline and Friends. Lots of talent in Branson and family friendly. The comedian was my favorite tonight.

Friday,I visited the President Clinton Library. The second Presidential Library this summer. It was interesting, but my favorite part was finding out that the 4th floor is the Clinton penthouse and they were there! We didn't see the Clinton's but we did see the men in black (the Secret Service).

Yesterday I visited The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. This was the Texas School Book Depository building where Lee Harvey Oswald was when "he" shot President John F. Kennedy. I also visited the grassy knoll. The X in the road shows exactly where it happened. The big red building across the street is the courthouse. The white flat paneled structure is the JFK Memorial (no roof and nothing inside). A sad moment in history.

On Friday I was lucky enough to attend the 8th reunion of The Rocky Mountain News (thanks to my great buddy and famous sports cartoonist Drew Litton). It was held at The Denver Press Club. The Denver Press Club is the oldest Press Club in the United States. In fact the building is celebrating its 125th birthday. It's a beautiful building rich in history. Signed pictures from presidents, illustrations of famous Denver journalists, printer's plates from famous headlines, Pulitzer Prize winning photos, awards, fun pictures and memorabilia all grace the building. On top of admiring all the cool things in the building I got to shake paws with some pretty cool people too. I met Dusty Saunders (journalist) and his lovely wife Anita. Lynn Bartels (communication Director for CO Secretary of State), City Councilman Kevin Flynn, Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Barry Gutierrez, and Editorial cartoonist Ed Stein all were as happy to meet me as I was to meet them. Everyone there was wonderful. When the Press Club first opened you could belong if you believed in honest and ethical journalism. On the front of the building is a placard honoring our 1st amendment rights. A wonderful and exciting evening!!

On Monday I visited one of my favorite fun places. I went to play at The Old time Arcade in Manitou Springs. Some of the games are from the 1930's and cost between one penny and 25 cents. There are games that cost more, but a cheetah has to watch his budget.

Chester visited the beautiful Broadmore Hotel on n Colorado Springs. He loved it and shaking his tail to the music of the Broadmore's very own orchestra. They can play everything!! 🎩🎼

Chester dancing at The El Paso Chihuahua's game.

Homestead Picker. They are all so talented.

Last night I was so surprised to see Drew Litton performing with The Magnificent Seven as one of the Elvis impersonators. Mag7show at Hamner"s Variety Theater.
