April Breakfast - 4/10

How about we make the run to the winery after breakfast like we did last May. I still have the directions. I can lead and I will make sure we don't miss any turns this time LOL

Sadly, Mark will not be in town for this drive. We will have to wait until next month to get pulled over.

I am faster because I am a better driver?

Right turn onto Mulberry Rd
Left turn onto Sperry than immediate Right turn back onto Mulberry ( It makes a small jog there)
Left onto Heath (bear right – North - when it starts to turn left) – It dead ends at Chardon – If you dead end at Sperry, you missed the turn
Turn right onto Chardon Road

Sounds like fun but I'm going to have to skip the drive. Tax season is winding down. See you all for breakfast.

Seeing a MINI smoke all 4 tires

Rebecca,

Thanks again for a great drive. I could not beleave my eyes seeing your MINI not only getting rubber from the front, also seeing smoke from the rears at the same time going around that offset corner.

You really go girl
