We’re still celebrating! Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and we marked the occasion at Dempsey’s Brew Pub on Broadway in Watertown, South Dakota with their award winning Casanova Pizza on Cauliflower Crust accompanied by their delicious Black Bear Stout! And then this morning we savored a most excellent Steak & Eggs breakfast at Wheel Inn, a local institution. Both restaurants were recommended to us by locals as we chatted with them while shopping in town. We’re staying three nights at Stokes-Thomas Lake City Park on the shore of Lake Kampeska in Watertown and it has been a delight. We’ve got a spacious grassy full hookups site with a view of the lake at a very affordable price. It’s lovely. This stop isn’t about museums and such but rather just enjoying each other and the ambience of this somewhat sizable community in the eastern part of the state with it’s pleasant lakeside park. To a degree we’re pretending that we live here and are doing everyday things such as grocery shopping, working on the blog, going for long walks in the park, sitting and watching the sunset, reminiscing, planning, and counting our blessings. By the way, today is another anniversary. On the same day as our first Steak & Eggs breakfast, we departed on our first cross country camping trip together, from Cincinnati to St Petersburg by way of San Francisco visiting national parks and far flung family while camping in a vintage canvas tent. Remembering that truly makes us grateful for the luxury of camping in this amazing T@B 400!
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.
