Today I got to go for a ride with Robin. We started out without a destination just riding around then headed for Washington D.C. We’ve both been there but not for a long time so what the heck. I figured – it’s Monday, how bad can the traffic be. Answer: BAD. And it was the same thing all over again. Hot sitting at the stop lights and can’t get going fast enough before you have to stop again to cool off. After a couple stops I thought, let’s go to Delaware and then I can cross that off the states tab (did you see that one up there?). Another mistake, no way we would be back to the farm in time for dinner so we made a 180 and had fun getting a little lost (even with the GPS). We stopped at a little restaurant and got some food to go for dinner and headed back. The food was wonderful and the company even better.
I mentioned that Robin is here for a horse clinic – Cindy and Paul are hosting the clinic at their farm (Quail Run). What a place!! A mere 63 acres and it looks like a Kentucky horse farm. Beautiful rolling hills of horse pastures and a main house that is awesome. After only a day and a half I count these people as friends of mine and I know Robin feels the same. This picture was taken this evening right before we had dinner. Cindy & Paul call it the Sunset Cruise. It’s a six mile loop around several of the properties in the area. Grab an adult beverage and hop in the Gator (nothing runs like a Deere spoken here). Paul and I talked about the history of the place and some of the properties and local activities while the girls sat in the back drinking and spilling their wine. It was a grand time.
