We made our way into Boston today. Drove part of the way, parked, and took the “T” into town then, walked the final mile plus to Boston Medical Center. There we and Rachel’s parents had an opportunity for a very brief visit with Rachel before Greg accompanied us to the nursery to meet our grandson! He’s a handsome little man! Then we four grandparents went out on the town in North End and celebrated together raising a glass to our kids and their son!
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.
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.
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.
How exciting for all of you. The photo of Greg and his son is priceless. The emotion in his expression is touching.
