Other than the significant traffic noise from I-75 to our west and US-25 and a busy freight railroad line to our east, this is quite a pleasant campground. The landscaping is delightful. According to our host, it was designed, built, and planted with trees from a Cincinnati nursery in the late 1960’s first as a family getaway. It opened in 1968 as one of the earliest KOA campgrounds but is now affiliated with Good Sam Club. We’ve decided to use this stay as a stay at home time. We ventured out for a short time this afternoon primarily to get some groceries but most of today has been spent sitting and reading or doing genealogical research and working on a draft for a documentary on Karen’s maternal grandmother’s family.  Two things really make it possible to do this, really lovely weather and the best wifi we have encountered in a campground in quite a long while.

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

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

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.
