A New Year Begins

Family

If the whole year goes the way it has begun, we may well be spending the coming year seeking out small adventures. Rather than sit at home quietly welcoming waiting for midnight and the new year, we decided to head out for a New Years street party in Franklin, North Carolina. We checked into the Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast yesterday then headed out to Ruby Cinema for a viewing of Mary Poppins Returns before heading downtown where we had reservations at The Root and Barrel where we had a delicious repast amid a crowd of revelers. The town of Franklin hosted a Ruby Drop at midnight and we’d planned to be there but instead opted for our cozy room instead of hanging out in the cold rain. This morning fellow guests reported the rain had stopped by midnight and that the Ruby Drop was successful but we have to admit to having enjoyed being warm and cozy and asleep by midnight. Today we’ll head home on the lookout for adventures along the way and looking forward to a fabulous 2019.

      Happy 2019! Don’t blame technology, blame the bloggers. We’ve been so wrapped up with a project at home this winter that we’ve neglected our blog followers, but we’re getting up to speed now. You should be seeing more updates in the days to come. Like you we’re really looking forward to üCamp19. We love both Mammoth Cave and Acadia. Be sure to get Tea and Popovers on the lawn at Jordan Pond when you are in Acadia. Happy Trails!

It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.

Underground at Charing Cross

Underground at Charing Cross

Our last day in London this trip we ventured underground on the Hidden London Charing Cross: Access All Areas Tour for a peek into the workings of The Underground a bit of its history and the uses of the Jubilee Line Charing Cross Station that no longer serves passengers but still has usefulness including as a filming location for movies including Skyfall and Paddington.
