🌊 Adventures of Waldo 🦦
Waldo made a new friend this weekend—meet Little Bear! 🐻💙
The two of them hit the road and headed to the Oregon Coast for a weekend adventure. First stop: the Tillamook Creamery, where they met up with Teacher Kim and two Emerson alumni. The biggest hit? 🍦 Ice cream, of course!
To wrap up the trip, Waldo and Little Bear explored Bayocean Spit. The tide was way out, and Waldo was convinced it was the perfect time for a swim… but we had to remind them that sometimes adventures are best enjoyed with dry fur. 😄
Where should Waldo and Little Bear explore next? 🗺️✨

With a little time to spare before heading home, Waldo and I made one last stop at the New Orleans Audubon Zoo! 🦁🦒🐊
We spotted lion cubs, colorful birds, alligators, zebras, giraffes, and—our favorite of all—river otters! 🦦 Waldo was especially excited to meet some fellow otters.
It was the perfect way to wrap up our New Orleans adventure. Now we’re headed home with lots of memories (and plenty of stories) to share!
