Although it was a national monument beginning in 1908 and officially a national park beginning in 2013, Pinnacles National Park wasn’t even on our radar until about a week ago when we were searching the Campground Reviews website for a campsite with electric in mid-California and Pinnacles showed as a possibility. So we logged onto Recreation.gov and not only could we get a 30 amp Site in Pinnacles Campground but there were several vacancies for the two nights we were interested in. To make it even better with our National Parks Lifetime Senior Pass discount, the fee was but $20 a night! That said, this is the off season in this park because of the brutal heat. One of the prime activities here is hiking but that’s best done just after dawn or just before dusk these August days. Next time we decide to come here we’ll call the campground office at for recommendations for the shadiest sites before making a reservation. That said, we were lucky enough to get Site 90 with morning and early afternoon shade, perhaps there’s something even better but there are sites that are full sun only.

Burgh House Hampstead

Burgh House Hampstead

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

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.
