Solar Eclipse 2017

2017 New England, Family, Road Trip

When your own house is in the path of totality for the first Solar Eclipse to travel across the country from coast to coast in ninety-nine years, the best place to travel to may be your own home. When we realized that, we tweaked our Summer Ramble plans so that we would be here today. It not only gives us the chance to view the total eclipse but we can throw a party at the same time. Family and friends gathered on our deck to share snacks, drinks, snd protective eyewear. No one had fancy camera equipment, telescopes or binoculars, just eclipse glasses, an index card with a hole in it, and a colandar. We just enjoyed watching as the moon’s shadow traveled across the sun. It was awesome watching the corona appear and experiencing darkness at midday.

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

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.
