A Little Trip to Where.....?

I started out, mid-morning, heading for some quality time at the Heard Museum. Mr. G was storing the correct address, and just to be extra-prepared, I printed out the Google map that showed the entire route from FVT to my destination. OK... here we go.

So I'm driving.... and driving.... and following directions... or I thought I was. Traffic was pretty heavy, and I did miss one turn, but Mr. G straightened me out. But then I did an unthinkable thing... What? you ask. I tried to make an adjustment on the Garmin screen while I was driving. Apparently I adjusted some unknown entity that totally changed the destination I had planned for.

So I'm driving and driving and not getting any closer to the Heard Museum. As a matter of fact, it looked like I was getting closer to home! I just didn't recognize the fact for a while because I was on so many different unfamiliar freeways!


So after 45 minutes of driving, I wasn't in the mood to try for the museum again, but I was passing Riverview Plaza, and decided to stop there. After all, it was another one of my wish list destinations. And that's what I did. I stopped, parking in a place that would be easy to find later, and decided to check out the movie theaters.

Making a long story short, I went to a movie and enjoyed it a lot. It was a Disney film called 'UP'. Very cute.... not just for kids. Then back to the car. Drove around the mall for a while, checking out the stores. (Actually, that isn't quite true.) I was lost at the mall and could not find the right exit to get me back onto familiar streets for 15 minutes. Don't laugh! I just chalk it up to more practice driving and finding my way out of another paper bag.

Then home again, the driving adventures done for the day. But I do intend to visit the Heard Museum some other day. I won't give up on that destination! I'll be On the Road Again!
