Old Fashioned Sunday Drive

Do you remember when taking a Sunday drive was what we all did?
Me too.
 It might have been with the family, a friend or a boyfriend. If you lived in Rhode Island , it could have been to Beavertail to watch the ocean or Goddard Park to watch the people. It didn't really matter where you went, it was just nice to enjoy the sun, scenery and hopefully good company!
 
Life was slower and less technical I suppose.
 
Our ride on the motorcycles today reminded me of the good ole days. After a long heat wave with high humidity, today dawned cool and cloudy but with a promise of sunshine. We took to the road on a new loop that Dan wanted to try.
 
Halfway through the ride the sun did indeed break out and the day felt like an early fall one, crisp, fresh and full of energy.
Just as I was thinking of Sundays gone by, look what we rode by....!
 
 
Now that's a big boulder!
 
 
We are so very lucky to call the Adirondack Park home, but we do venture out once in a while. :-)
 
 
 
Hmmm, which way?
 
 
We passed by acres
 
 
and acres of corn....
 
 
Corn in ALL directions, clear to Canada!
 
 
 
These guys looked as confused as we did about which way to go. So many toys, so little time.
 
 
We passed by beautiful old barns....
 
 
 
 
 
We rested in the shade and took in more sights.
 
 
Dan patiently waited, like a good husband, so I could chronicle our journey.
 
The point is, remember to take journeys and enjoy them too.
The problem? No problem today!
 
So, pack your red plaid metal cooler and your blanket and get out on the road. Take a drive just for the heck of it and linger in the sunshine...
