The Michigan Mitten(s)

2015 New England and MidWest, Michigan, Road Trip


It’s Labor Day Weekend and a busy campground time all around the country but perhaps especially so in Michigan where according to state law the school year cannot commence until after the first Monday in September. Reservations for state parks apparently filled up six months ago! This last weekend of summer is a big deal!  We were fortunate to snag a three night reservation at the Oscoda KOA! We spent part of today poking around the area geocaching, grocery shopping, and enjoying the lakeshore. We earned our Geocaching Michigan badge, the Michigan Mittens! 

And we enjoyed the sight of the last Vintage Fire Truck Ride of the season at this KOA, complete with sirens wailing, dogs barking, and kids waving!

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.
