FDR’s Little White House

2008 West--35th Anniversary, 32-Franklin Roosevelt, Georgia, Presidential Sites, Road Trip, States

We started the day with a visit to FDR’s Little White House and the Therapeutic Pools in Warm Springs, Georgia. We were struck by how unassuming the little house was. We had the privilege of meeting a delightful woman who had known FDR in her youth and had called him “Rosey”. Back on the road we had a wonderful lunch of peanut butter and mint jelly sandwiches – a tradition of ours from 1973 and headed north on back roads until we were north of Atlanta. We camped in Clinton, Tennessee, where we dined on canned ravioli! We’re having a great time!

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
