2015 New England and MidWest, Family, Road Trip

A good day to hang with the daughter afoot in Bloomington!

 Lunch at Uptown Cafe – Yum! Poking around in the kitchen goods shop.

New shoes and socks at JL Waters!

With excellent help from Emily.

 Amazing ice creams at Hartzell’s. And a clever geocache at the Andrew Wylie House. Can you say urban hiking? Our FitBits love it. It’s a glorious day to be out and about on foot! It’s Autumn and the foliage hasn’t quite gotten the message. 

There a a few dandelions blooming but the dogwoods are beginning to turn.

 The sky is blue and the temperature is just right, just a little cool.

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

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.
