I finally was able to have a long awaited date with my mother for my birthday today, so we packed a cooler with some water bottles and a couple Belgium beers (thanks Tappy!), stopped by a local restaurant for a couple Italian subs and went to the mountains in the Fiat. This was Mom's first ride in a Fiat since she learned to drive in a 1937 Topolino and she enjoyed it immensely (especially the growl from the dual IDFs
). After having lunch in the woods by a beautiful lake surrounded by the fall colors, we realized something was amiss. We were giggling at everything like little school girls and after reading the label of that beer, realized we just drank the equivelant of three regular beers.
So, we decided to walk through the woods, collecting pretty leaves until the effects wore off enough to drive home. We stopped at a little cafe for some coffee and enjoyed the quiet serenity you could only find in the mountains. What a perfect day!
paints a pretty picture, give mom a hug for us!
