The Olbrich

2014 West then East, Road Trip, States, Wisconsin

One of the cool opportunities in Madison is the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. We’re here during their annual butterfly event and we have our own personal tour guide. Nancy is on the staff and walked us through the conservatory and gardens as well as a behind the scenes tour introducing us to staff, volunteers, and even a fellow dancer along the way. She was able to tell us wonderful stories about the background of the gardens, the butterflies, the Chilhuly inspired glass sculpture, the incredible kaleidoscope, the Thai sala and more. It was a wonderful way to experience one of Madison’s treasures!

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.
