Spent one day at home doing laundry, enjoying time with CJ, watching few episodes from Season 1 of “House”. When we delivered CJ to Gateway to catch the 100X bus across the bay, we stopped in at Beall’s to buy a pair of shoes. Ended up shopping the discount racks. Steve’s line is that we got in yesterday and leaving tomorrow on the cruise so we had to go to Beall’s to do our packing! Couldn’t resist this photo of the Signature rising in downtown St Petersburg.
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.

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.
