CORE MEMORY: DASH’S FAMILY ADVENTURE

By Samantha Layosa

Our stay at Staypineapple’s Maxwell Hotel was pure magic – cozy rooms, quirky charm and the warmest welcome. But the best surprise? Dash, our unexpected room companion, who instantly stole our hearts and became part of the family.

We were only in Seattle for one night before our Alaskan cruise, but the moment we spotted Dash waiting for us in our room, we knew he had to come with us. We have two dogs at home, and I think my teens were feeling a little separation anxiety. But after seeing Dash’s adorable face (and that hat!), how could anyone say no?

So Dash joined us on our week-long adventure through Alaska and Canada – and he didn’t miss a moment. Sightseeing, whale watching, eating, drinking… he did it all, and yes, we have many photos to prove it.

Thank you, Staypineapple, for the memories, the comfort and the joy. This trip started with you – and we’ll never forget it.
