The Wienermobile has taken me to many cities and states, but this Chinese building is not located in China, it is located in Houston, Texas. During my events in Houston, I went to have dinner at this Chinese Restaurant.

After driving the Wienermobilefor 7months, I’m looking into downsizing and investing in a Mini Cooper. So while working an event in Santa Monica, CA I was able to see a famous custom made Mini Cooper that I almost traded in for The Wienermobile.

While we’re the Midwest team, we were lucky enough to do an event that led us towards a parade in Baltimore. As we made our way due East, we sudden realized we were going through an area every Wienermobile has to see at least once: The White House! I told Dijon John I was navigating BOLOGNA towards the famous landmark, as he had never seen it before. I typed it into our GPS, and we were off!

It was pretty difficult finding a parking spot for BOLOGNA with all of the Federal buildings around the capitol building, but some very nice bus drivers pulled up and made a spot for us in their waiting line!

After running up a hill, we got to the top and saw the glorious mansion that holds the inner workings of the franktastic United States of America:

BOLOGNA wants to take the place of Bo, the Obama Family dog. After all, they do share two letters of their name.

At a parade in White Hall, AR is where I first encountered the National Guard Chopper float!  It was a very impressive bike.  I sat behind the handle bars of the chopper and imagined haulin’ buns, however reality set in when I noticed I was encased in a bullet proof glass trailer.

The Wienermobile stopped at the beautiful Kansas University.  While at the KU campus I met up with Big Jay the Universities mascot and he gave me a VIP tour.  I was able to see where all the behind the scene ‘mascot’ operations take place.  Big Jay also let me hold his offical game jersey and ride around on his gigantic tricycle.  Oversized modes of transportation are my favorite!!!

Being so close to a tropical atmosphere and beachy area, you can’t help but notice the beautiful Birds of Paradise San Diego is known for. The beautiful flowers add a great architectural landscape to the city.

While driving the Wienermobile past the Toyota Center in Houston, TX I saw that Cirque du Soleil was in town.  I of course had to ketchup with the ticket office and then enjoyed the show.  During the show many of the performers were connected by arms and legs and it looked just like linked sausages!!!  It’s amazing the influence hot dogs have on the world.

After spending several weeks in Seattle over the past four months, I have constantly been tempted by the Canadian border just about an hour and a half north of the Emerald City. When the opportunity presented itself and I had a few days to myself, I hopped in my ketchup-colored rental car and headed north (WEENR prefers to stay in his home country, as he doesn’t have a passport.)

Destination? Vancouver, Bristish Columbia, home to the 2010 Winter Olympics. And what a treat it was!

The sign welcoming MmmK to the city!

Over my two days up north, I explored Stanley Park via foot and bike, walked along the Seawall, took the elevator up to the Lookout Tower, and walked through the Olympic Village. While enjoying a delicious breakfast at the Public Market on Granville Island, I happened to see something that caught my eye.

The closest thing Vancouver has to the Wienermobile!

Although our Canadian neighbors treated me franktasticly, I sincerely missed the senic-crauts that I experience in my fun bun. I look forward to returning to Vancouver via the Olympic Games beginning February 12. Maybe they will have a Wienermobile race on skates?!

Trying to keep warm in Colorado was a little difficult so I decided to walk to a local cupcakery near our event to warm up. I found the most delicious red velvet cupcake that I took back to the Wienermobile to share with Atta-dog-Adam.

Guac’ and I decided that the Wienermobile needed to lightly toast its bun.  So we took it to Galveston Beach, TX and got a little sun ourselves.  The white sand beaches were beautiful and a must stop if you relish beach time.
