World’s Highest KOA

2019 West Again, Colorado, Road Trip, States

Knowing we wanted to check out some of the sights in the Colorado Springs area, we picked the Cripple Creek KOA to serve as our base. Looks like we chose well. Located just outside of the historic gold mining towns of Victor and Cripple Creek, this campground is nestled in the mountainside 10,000 feet. As we look out from our campsite we’re reminded of the opening scene from The Sound of Music! Even at 10,000 feet there’s much taller mountains all around. So glad we’ve chosen to make this a three night stay!

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
