Just Hanging Out

2016 Out West, California, Road Trip

A nice and gentle day in Mountain View starting with visiting over our coffee, tea, and breakfast. Meg told us about her responsibilities as a new Third Grade teacher. The conversation turned to binoculars so Lou brought out her collection and shared her expertise inspiring us to head out to the local REI store. In the process Lou discovered she had a need to go shopping for a new automotive battery. Our Rugged Geek battery came in handy during the process! While we shopped for binoculars Meg popped next door for bedding for the classroom guinea pig. Next was a Chipotle Grill meal enjoyed al fresco followed by a group geocache find. Back at the apartment we worked on driftwood and found objects art while sipping wine, watched an episode of Tiny House Nation, enjoyed tuna patties and salad for dinner finished off with lavendar chocolates. Then Lou and Meg addressed one of the deficiencies of our pop culture education and queued up the 1974 film, Young Frankenstein!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
