Out of the Ordinary

2021, Road Trip

Up to this point we have reveled in unstructured trip planning but these are not ordinary times and we are behaving in an out of the ordinary manner. We are making campsite reservations. With the exception of two one night mid-week stays, we have reservations for the first two and a half weeks of our upcoming ramble across North Carolina into Virginia. It’s a strange feeling. It’s somewhat reassuring and yet disconcerting. We love discovering adventures along the way but on the other hand, we are deliberately mixing it up with four night stays along with single night stays, some private campgrounds, national forest stays, state parks, and Harvest Host visits.

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.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

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.
