Today’s fun started days ago. There was a trip to H&R Trains down in Florida which started out as a search for a piece for Steve’s vintage model railroad airport beacon but led to the acquisition not only of a vintage American Flyer boxcar but of a lightly used seventy year old AF transformer! Then two days ago there was the opportunity to pick up an almost brand new Apple Watch followed by a trip to Charlotte Street Computers and a fancy new watchband as well as a nice lunch at Bourbon Barrel Beef on the way home. Then at minutes after midnight this morning we scored a spot at üCamp19. Registration started at 00:00 and all spots had been taken by 08:00 this morning. We’re so glad we were silly enough to stay up until midnight to register! Then tonight we ventured in to Sylva to check out The Cut and learned from Kelsey at the bar that they really do make custom cocktails!. We both enjoyed the concoctions that she mixed up for us before heading on to Lulu’s, a Sylva tradition for a delicious birthday dinner.
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.
