Sitting here at the campground at Grahams Island State Park actually on an island in Devils Lake, the largest freshwater lake in North Dakota. We pulled in on Wednesday for a luxurious four night stay on Site #154 with full hookups and a very easy walk to the boat ramp and along the lakeshore. This place definitely caters to fishermen and from our spot we can watch fishing boats come and go and successful fishermen cleaning their catch at a state of the art cleaning station. Yesterday we enjoyed a trip to town to visit the laundromat and the grocery. Then last evening on a lovely walk through the campgrounds we had a chance to make friends with some fellow T@B travelers from Holland MI. This morning however we’re hunkered down inside our T@B 400 totally enjoying the comfort of this lovely shelter as rain pours down. Our Accuweather app promises the rain will continue for hours to come. Life is good and the adventures we’d planned for today can wait for the rain to pass.
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.
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.
