Forty-Nine Years Ago

Family

We’ve just celebrated our Forty-Ninth Anniversary in western Massachusetts. We opted to linger a while longer with our trailer parked in Greg’s driveway. It’s a salubrious time of year here. For dinner on our anniversary we asked Greg to join us for drinks and dinner at Champney’s Tavern in Deerfield. Then yesterday we two breakfasted on Steak and Eggs as we did at the Carousel Inn in Cincinnati on September First in 1973. This morning we reminisced about waking up in our canvas tent at the KOA in Carlock, Illinois as we ventured out on our first cross country camping trip together. We stayed in the same park, same campsite right next to the railroad tracks thirty-five years later on our last cross country camping trip just before we discovered the joys of teardrop travel. As we begin our fiftieth year together we’re already planning our anniversary celebration which will involve Transatlantic travel and waking up on this day next year in London. It’s been a glorious journey together thus far and we’re happily anticipating many more shared adventures!

    Happy 49th Anniversary. Joyous memories to treasure thru the years. Wishing you a marvelous year ahead at home and traveling. Have fun planning your trip to London. We are going to Ireland for a few days then cruising around the British Isles and a final few days stay in London in Sept. Art has never been to his dad’s birth city and he hopes to meet some cousins for the first time. Hello to the kids.

    Happy Anniversary to you guys. Sorry we couldn’t meet up in Shelbourne Falls – 2 excuses: didn’t know about the rally and our T@B 320 is being prepped for sale. Judging from the comments posted on the Facebook page, you two are well prepared to advise all of the attendees and answer all of their questions and concerns.
    We took your advice from the 2021 uCamp rally and ordered a new 2023 400, same color/trim scheme as yours, BD and 400Ahr options. Excited to get it in October. Happy Trails

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.

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

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.
