It’s OUR T@B Clamshell!

2013 New England, Road Trip

Finally at long last, it’s ours! Early this afternoon we arrived at Country Camping Corner Kings Mountain NC to take delivery of our custom T@B Clamshell camper. We’ve been dreaming of and planning for this camper for a year. We loved our little Silver Shadow teardrop camper but wanted just a tiny bit more room inside – a little bit of floor, a bit more headroom, a place inside for the porta pottie. And yes, the option of air conditioning on hot summer nights as well as a refrigerator – or freedom from messy bags of ice. Last summer we started actively looking at options such as the Casita or an R-Pod. Then we saw a T@B and fell in love. We almost got one in Manchester TN but then we learned that Little Guy was poised to reintroduce the Clamshell model in the Fall. The Clamshell has the kitchen in the back like our Silver Shadow did. Oh, yes! We went by Little Guy headquarters in September and even visited the Pleasant Valley factory. Knowing the quality of our Silver Shadow we were pleased to think the same Amish craftsmen would make our new T@B. We ordered it in April and expected it by early June. But there were delays. An increase in orders, shipping delays, and more. And even this week there were delays. We thought we’d get it on Tuesday, then on Thursday. Finally we got it today. It’s OUR T@B Clamshell! And we’re ready to go camping!

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.

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

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.
