My girls go everywhere except Wal-Mart, grocery store, Doctors, dentist and most resturants. I just hate leaving them at home, and I don't spend more time away than necessary. When I do have to leave them, I put on the solo harp music as it tends to relax them so much. I have a dog stroller that works so perfectly when I go to the mall or anywhere in the summer when the streets are so darn hot that they can't walk on them. I have even draped a thin blanket over it and ate at several places. Best investment I've made for them yet.
