Slow and Easy

2016 Out West, California, Road Trip

Today started early when Lou got going for her first day back to work then Megan visited with us for a bit before heading in for a teacher planning day. When we finally got going we headed over to Pearl Cafe for a brunch and lingered for a while. Checked out Kohl’s and Target but couldn’t find what we were looking for. Did find a geocache in Klein Park. After a visit to Verizon where we learned they were already sold out of the new iPhone7, we went to Goldilocks Bakery for coffee and dessert and lingered for a while there before heading back to Lou’s. After work she and Meg joined us for a walk to Castro Street, Mountain View’s Restaurant Row, where we found a geocache then continued on for just a few more steps to LaFontaine for a wonderfully leisurely dinner of Beef Wellington accompanied by wine and finished with Tiramisu (3.5/5) and a complimentary Ruby Port. A nice finale to a fun week with Lou and a nice weekend visit with Meg!

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.

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.
