On Sunday I took my wife to the Old Westbury Gardens in Long Island, New York. This place is literally a 3 minute drive from my home, so I can't write too much about the drive itself, except to say that it was a rather pleasant and short. Nonetheless, the location was a gorgeous place to take a picture of my Jaguar. My wife insisted on being in the shot as well
. I specifically did not take any pictures of the mansion or the gardens, as anyone can see it on the net. Here's a link, in case anyone is interested - Imagevue Gallery

Back in the driver's seat. Aaaaahhhhh. Just one more check and THEN I'll feel back to my confident, drive anywhere, just have fun vibe.
Meanwhile, here's a stop along the road I'm on often. Back road in the Livermore Valley in California. LOVE the livestock scattered about.
These fellows seem to like either the attention or the beautiful car that stopped to see them.

Then we set off for a drive out to the AZ Hops and Wines in Sonita in the hills South of Tucson, with some nice roads on the way!
(They had an Octoberfest event going on)
