Mark and Patti suggested one more Pacific Coast adventure before we part ways so we headed to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve at Moss Beach, California. It's renowned for the diversity of marine flora and fauna and is s great place to visit tide pools. We arrived just...
As a bit of an afterglow those of us still in Half Moon Bay, California this morning gathered at La Nebbia Winery this morning to enjoy the company of the bride and groom and one another. There was coffee and tea, breakfast burritos, coffee cake bites, yogurt...
West of Half Moon Bay RV Park are a series of trails leading out to water's edge. We drove to the free parking area at the end of Wavecrest Road then chose one of the Tree Tunnel paths through the woods out to a glorious Pacific view then followed a southerly path...
In our travels along the California Coast, the two of us had not until today visited Monterey. We purchased a couple of all day parking passes for our truck and trailer at the Moss Landing Harbor and headed out with Mark and Patti in their rental car for a day of...
The whole purpose of our westward trek across middle America in the heat of summer this year has been to rendezvous with family this next weekend. When Patti and Mark mentioned plans to fly in a couple of days early, we coordinated to meet up with them this afternoon...
Moss Landing, California! When we arrived this afternoon we had to quickly change out of shorts and into jeans and jackets. It's overcast, misty, chilly, and downright glorious here! We've stayed here before in 2014 and remember it fondly. Like last time we made the...
See Park Video See Time Laps Video Getting up early this morning truly paid off. We'd made the short drive from the campground to Bear Gulch last evening to get our bearings so we knew where we were going this morning shortly after dawn. We were the first to hit the...

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...
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...

Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

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.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
