Halloween today is all about pumpkins carved with both scary and funny faces, costumed kids, candy, and spooky attractions like haunted houses, but Halloween can trace its roots back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated on November 1. The Celts believed that on this day, the souls of the dead returned home, so people dressed in costumes to confuse them and lit fires to drive away the evil spirits.

Author John Steinbeck's cross-country travels with his poodle Charley were the basis for his well-known travelogue Travels with Charley. When the book was published in 1962, it wasn't common to take a road trip with your pup. Now, more than 60 years later, it's not unusual for man and woman's best friend to accompany his or her owner on a day trip to sample a new brewery or on a longer vacation. 

Pet-friendly venues, from restaurants, hotels, inns, and campsites to dog parks and walking and hiking trails, are the norm. Pet-friendly stores stock all the latest doggie clothing, toys, treats and more, and when owners want a day to themselves doggie day-care centers welcome pups with a range of options from grooming to spacious play areas.  

Have a destination in mind for you and your pooch? Google the name of the town, add "pet-friendly," and lots of options will pop up.
