One of the great rewards of hotdogging is that oftentimes when you’re visiting a cool city, people like to come visit you. That was the case with my family when I was in Las Vegas – since my Dad had raised us on Elvis, we knew we had to reunite in the bright light city!

The fam and the sphinx!

We got to see some shows, ride roller coasters, and cruise down the Strip in the Wienermobile! One day, we even went to Red Rock state park to see some bunderful Southwestern scenery!

Sibling high-five!

This family reunion is going to be tough to top!

While circling through Southern California, we were lucky enough to be within the radius of a Wienermobile fan named Josh. Josh is a highly skilled photographer, and knows how to round up incredible 360 degree spherical panoramas of various places easy as pi! He set up his camera inside RELSHME, took a couple quick shots, and rolled out this ball-ing image of the inside of the Wienermobile! Are Euclid-ing me?! Click and drag your mouse around on the image below to take a panoramic tour of the Wienermobile’s interior, and franks again to Josh for allowing us to show the inside of the Wienermobile to people a-round the globe!

So if you see me keepin’ my doggy rolling through the West, be sure to say howdy!

After defying death in the Everglades, Lil Links Laura and I decided it was kill or be killed. So we stopped by a local barbecue spot to try a very local flavor – alligator meat! Laura got us started with some appetizers . . .

Sampling some gator bites

 Alligator is very tasty – pretty chewy meat, with a delectable taste! I liked it so much, I had to try the other alligator menu item . . .

Gator Sausage (doing my best gator smile)

Gator sausage was everything I hoped it would be – juicy, filling, and something I could really sink my teeth into!

Lil Links Laura and I got to visit the Everglades while traveling through south Florida. We saw gators, pythons, and turtles a-plenty, and got some great pictures to prove how we just barely escaped certain death!

“Jumbo Beef” Joey has been a long-time follower of @Wienermobile on Twitter, as well as an avid fan of hotdoggerblog.com. In Del Rey Beach, Florida, he was finally able to achieve his goal of seeing the Wienermobile in person!

Joey finally gets to meat and greet the Wienermobile!

Joey got to check out everything YUMMY has to offer – a blue-sky ceiling, six plush and plump seats, and a floor covered in mustard! He even “tweeted” from the Wienermobile, and as such was awarded a limited edition sticker:

Lil’ Links Laura and I got to hike through the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, Florida. This 50 year-old park offers kayak rentals, snorkeling lessons, and hikes through swamps. We were most interested in checking out the Mangrove groves!

Us Southeast-ers got to stop by the Athens, Georgia Humane Society to raise money for pet adoption!

Lil Links and Lil Kittens

We kicked it with kittens, canines, and even an adorable ferret.

Sweet Pea the Ferret

We want to thank the Athens, Georgia Humane society for cooking up some delicious Oscar Mayer hot dogs, and for everyone that came by to help give these little guys a home!

Little Paws, Big Cause!
