A Driving Trip

A driving trip to someplace new,
Complete with water views,
Made my birthday very special,
Just the weekend I would choose.

Included was a mansion tour,
A river walk and meal
At a lovely local place, which had
A cozy, warm appeal.

Of course, throughout the day were lots
Of texts and calls for me,
Plus an ice cream stop to make the time
As happy as could be.

The weather held, the sun came out,
Our room, adjacent to
A marina, with its bobbing boats -
All better than we knew.

Today we drove past wineries
And farms with cows and sheep,
Enough to fill my dreams
When, one year older, I will sleep.
