A Strawberry Moon

Family


Tonight skywatchers around the Northern Hemisphere will witness a Strawberry Moon, a full moon on the Summer Solstice. We’ll not be among them. With a mountain covered in trees blocking our view of the eastern sky it will be hours before the moon will be visible to us at Tween Creeks and then only if the cloud cover clears. After today’s hike and an evening spent in front of the firepit the two of us are ready to hit the sack. But not without remembering our Summer Solstice  ten years ago when we went hiking at Midnight in Talkeetna, Alaska!

    Your story about being too tired to see the summer solstice moon made me smile. You made me remember our Alaska trip 27 years ago at summer solstice time. I had forgotten. We didn’t hike but we were in Anchorage for their annual midnight baseball game. Unfortunately, we were too tired to attend! We loved Alaska and plan on completing one of our bucket list items next summer. We are taking the girls, husbands and grandkids to Alaska. We’ve waited until the twins will be old enough-want them to remember spectacular Alaska. Enjoy your trip this summer. Be safe! We will be following your travels as you post. Hugs to you both.

Burgh House Hampstead

Burgh House Hampstead

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.

Wicked The Musical

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. 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.
