After a pleasant morning overlooking Lake Cumberland we made our way north on US-27 to Lexington and on then via interstate through Cincinnati to Winton Woods where we discovered that we’d arrived a day earlier than our reservation! So we are temporarily ensconced on #55 overlooking Winton Lake until tomorrow when we can set up on #57. Time for a late lunch then a foray to Finneytown for dessert at Graeter’s!
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.
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.
Got on the interstate and out paced your reservation by a day. hmmm
Enjoy all your Cincinnati favorites.
Enjoy the ice cream! Yum!!
Indeed! Graeter’s proximity it one of the things we love about Winton!
