Biergarten

2015 New England and MidWest, Family, Road Trip

This visit has been an amazing succession of adventures. CJ and Phil have been excitedly exploring Bloomington first on visits here to see friends and more intensely since they moved here in August and have been anxious to share their finds as well as explore new spots with us. Today they took us to Upland Brewing for lunch and some microbrew. As we walked in we had a strong sense of biergarten, indoor and outdoor seating options, excellent food, excellent beer, and happy patrons.

 It’s Sunday in football season so the program for these two is tune in and watch their home teams, Buccaneers for CJ and Saints for Phil.

 We took the opportunity to do laundry and to savor a bit of Phil’s Chili before giving them hugs and promising more visits. It’s been good to spend time with these two!

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.
