We Found Gold!

Alaska, Road Trip, States

Literally! And figuratively. It’s been a fun day. We’re in the Land of the Midnight Sun and we just had to get up in the middle of the night just to see the daylight out of our hotel window. We rode on the Binkley Family’s Discovery III on the Chena River. We saw sled dogs, reindeer, seaplanes, smoked salmon, native crafts, and more. After a lunch and explore in downtown, we stopped by the Alaska Pipeline Visitors Center before we visited the The El Dorado Gold Mine and enjoyed the showmanship of Yukon Yonda and Dexter Clark. We all found gold in our pans! Later, after a trip to North Pole to visit Santa, we ate our fill at the Alaska Salmon Bake.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
