Going further everyday...

Yesterday, I stayed home and took it easy. Watched movies, read a bit and organized stuff. Today, I decided I was going to explore a bit. So...  I went to Cheekwood Art & Gardens.  

This is the house/museum.  Well...  Behind all the trees.  I thought I took a better picture.  

Saw Andy Warhol's portrait of Jamie Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth's portrait of Andy Warhol. No pictures allowed in the museum so go online to see them?  Or...  Come visit me!! I got a membership with a plus one. :)

This is the Japanese Garden. One of the reasons I ended up getting a membership.  Seems like a place I would really like to go back to.   

There was a stage at the end of the bamboo grove and the wood smelled like Japan.   

This is also where a mosquito bit my cheek.  

Cheekwood is about 5 minutes away.  Super convenient and there are night time hours with a special light exhibit going on.  I definitely want to go see that. 

After Cheekwood, I was thinking I really wanted to go see where Whole Foods was, so I did.  (I just wrote that using my Forrest Gump voice.)

The going was fine but the parking was a bit iffy.  I parked a bit too close to the other car and kept thinking I was going to hit it.   I didn't.  I was able to correct things before reaching the critical place of scratching cars. :)

Eh, I'll get used to it.  I'm not the first new driver and I won't be the last.  Oh!  Someone honked at me because I was obeying the 4 way stop sign rules.  You know I almost got my New Yorker attitude out but I didn't.  I just kept going my way.  Basically, honk if you want.  If I'm going the speed limit and doing the right thing, you can honk all you want.  

It really is different driving here, compared to NYC.  If there are pedestrian crossing, you're going 10 miles an hour.  Otherwise, not too many bikes, barely any people and no yellow cabs. :)

Ok... I'm doing some laundry so will be back later.
