Flying with the Red Baron

Family

During the Heritage Village WWII event yesterday we reconnected with Alicia Addeo, now the historian on staff with Heritage Village. She had served as an advisor to Dave when he was doing the reconstruction of the battery storage building at Ft DeSoto for his Boy Scout Eagle project. While we were talking they held a drawing for a ride in a Red Baron biplane. Since she had multiple reasons why she did not want to fly in the biplane, she gave the certificate to Steve. His was one of three biplanes that flew out of Clearwater Airpark on Sunday morning. His plane did only one loop de loop, enough excitement for him. But he got some fabulous aerial views of the area.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
