Today we are embarking on a journey that we've been planning for the past year. It's not our usual last minute flying by the seat of our pants adventure. Or at least the major parts aren't. Last August we called and talked with Kevin at Q Cruise Travel in Chicago to...
Life is an Adventure! Today we've taken a huge step in moving on to the next chapter in our lives. If all goes according to plan the sale of our mountain house will be complete within forty-eight hours. This morning we tucked the last few items into our truck, did a...
Today we completed our 48th state visit in our T@B since July 2013! Our rule is that at a minimum we must stay overnight and do something fun while in the state. Last night we stayed near Lebanon MO and today we visited the Stonehenge at Rolla, a half-scale replica of...
Once again we opted for the Gettysburg National Military Park audio driving tour. It gave us insight into many of the sights we saw. As usual when we do these tours we frequently got out of the car and wandered around at the stops. We're trying to get a deeper...
Mount Vernon, home of the First President George Washington, mecca to many Americans. The house tour was crowded but sitting on the porch gazing at the Potomac was relaxing. And listening to "Martha" talk, checking out the museum, and wandering among the outbuildings...

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.
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.
