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.
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.

It was mostly a case of "any port in a storm" kind of mentality that led us to booking two nights at the Los Banos KOA Journey in the middle of California in early August. It's hot but our air conditioning works wonderfully. Mornings and evenings are pleasant and the...
Coloma Resort

It's a lovely piece of property here along the South Fork of the American River in the little community of Coloma, California. Coloma Resort was a logical choice for our stay since it is immediately adjacent to Sutter's Mill. Otherwise it's not a place we'd care to...

Our decision to book a site for three nights here in Reno was a good one. It gave us the opportunity to just chill out today, enjoy our view, and spend some time working toward getting caught up on the blog. Late this morning we wandered up to the office for some...

It was a long hot day of travel through Nevada headed west on I-80. With ambient temperatures up to 103°F we made the decision to run without AC to reduce the chances of engine overheating and chose to make only one multipurpose stop for fuel, food, cold drinks, and...
