Camped last night at Wilson Island State Park on the western border of Iowa. For yet another night we set up camp in a light rain and broke camp in the mist. This was our most primitive camp yet. We had pit toilets! But $11 a night is not bad. In Omaha, Nebraska, then went in search of breakfast. You cannot prove by us that there are any restaurants in Omaha open for breakfast. We made cheese sandwiches and ate in the car while parked on a downtown street. Then we went to the Gerald Ford Birthplace and took pictures in the garden but the museum is closed on weekends. After that we drove north on US 75 through the Winnebago Reservation and crossed back into Iowa at Sioux City to visit the gravesite of Sargeant Floyd, the only member of the Lewis & Clark Expedition to die on the expedition. We then headed north to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We treated ourselves to a night at a Fairfield Inn and a dinner and a beer at Texas Roadhouse Grill!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Burgh House Hampstead

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

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.
