42 Pine Avenue

2015 New England and MidWest, Road Trip

 What an adventure! We chose this morning to decamp and move on, thinking we could find a site at Winton Woods for twelve nights. It’s October and it seems the camping season is winding down. Not! In what seems to be a growing trend, Winton is hosting Halloween Nights every weekend in October. So we tried Stone Lick State Park, Miami Whitewater Forest, Big Bone Lick State Park, and a couple others. No one could accommodate us for twelve nights straight. We ended up on Site 42 at Rose Garden Resort near Crittenden KY for four nights then we’ll move to Miami Whitewater for the next eight nights. We definitely gave our campground and mapping apps a workout today. We could not have accomplished this on the run in the days before smartphones!

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.

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.
