Today we completed our 48th state visit in our T@B since July 2013! Our rule is that at a minimum we must stay overnight and do something fun while in the state. Last night we stayed near Lebanon MO and today we visited the Stonehenge at Rolla, a half-scale replica of the late Neolithic structure in England. This replica was constructed of granite using high pressure water jets on the campus of Missouri University of Science and Technology. It was an impressive experience that really gave us a feel for the astronomical aspects of the design of the original.
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.

Congratulations on #48! I fully expect that during the miles of driving you two have considered adding #’s 49 and 50?
