Solitude at Burlington

2019 West Again, California, National Parks, Redwood NSP, Road Trip, States

The Redwoods called and we listened. We came home to Burlington. It’s our fourth stay in this magical grove and in fact our second stay on Site 53. Ever since we pitched a tiny tent under these glorious trees in 2008, Burlington has had a special place in our hearts. This time we reserved our site on ReserveCalifornia.com. It was a totally frustrating but ultimately rewarding experience. We’ve got three nights in this magical place. Our plans are to just sit back, relax, and enjoy our hammock while staring into the crowns of these majestic trees. The crowds have eased and most campers are staying just one night giving us some delicious solitude in the middle of the day. It’s fabulous!

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.
