Our first out of town ride finally became a reality on this beautiful Sunday 11/1/09...Sunny, cool(68-High), and all the greenery on those country roads.
We started out the morning at 6am and headed out at sunrise. Now I know the importance of knowing when sunrise is cuz that's when we can hit the road. LOL!
Headed from Wylie into Rockwall for some iHop breakfast. Yummy EggNogg and Pumpkin Pancakes-good energy for the road. As we left, the Garmin Nuvi gave up it's battery life, so we stopped at WalMart in Terrell for a replacement. My first opportunity for an on-the-road scooter update since I needed to run the DC outlet from the battery to the dashboard to plug in the charger for the Garmin that's affixed to my mirror stem. VERY valuable to have a tool bag under the seat.
Headed off on the backroads journey of 2.5 hours of beautiful greenery, lakes, small towns and all the produce stands, honey, and fresh pecans sold along the way. Was so enthralled, we forgot to take pics.
We finally got into Mexia at noon and enjoyed 3 hours of visiting with dear friends. Since I'm tracking the time for sundown, we left at 3pm to be back into Wylie by 5. So we took the 45 North main highway back....a first for Kelli. While it spooked her a bit with the wind and the big trucks, she persevered without any prompting from me.
So at 5:10, we drive back into the garage with smiles and a high five for a first successful road trip.
More to come....
