When I want to get away... Grab my sunscreen, my wide-brimmed hat, my Chanel sunglasses and my Beach Cruiser. My adorable Yorkshire Terrier, Finley, has the pleasure of showing off in his basket on the front. There is nothing better than a tour down by the beautiful beach with the wind blowing your hair and the sun shining down on you.
