A couple weeks ago, I took a trip unlike any I’d gone on before.
I didn’t take Ash to see something scenic. I didn’t take a trip to go see family.
I loaded myself into the Miata and drove 20 hours to the California coast for the MX-5 25th anniversary celebration. While there, I got to listen to the folks that created the original car talk about what they were trying to accomplish, listen to the current head of Mazda design talk about the brand new car (that won’t be out until next year), see the new MX-5 drive on the road (the first time folks out of the media or Mazda itself got to see it moving under its own power), and I got to drive my car at speed on the famous Laguna Seca racetrack.
Afterward, I got to see the world renown Monterey Bay Aquarium and to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge.
The return trip saw me driving through California’s Sierra Nevada mountains and its beautiful forest.
It only took almost 40 years to take a trip that was 100% for me. I think I’ll have to make time to do such a thing again and soon.
