Today’s travels took us along the eastern shore of Lake Pepin, the largest naturally occurring lake along the course of the Mississippi River and into the town of Pepin, Wisconsin to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum which gave a look at what life was like in Pepin when the Ingalls family lived here in the Nineteenth Century. Perhaps more particular to the personal history of the author of the Little House books is a nicely done reproduction of the log cabin the family lived in when she was born in 1867. It sits on a portion of the land owned by her father but is no longer surrounded by big woods. It’s a small house but it looked pretty roomy to the two of us who currently hang our hats in a T@B!

OUR VERY

LATEST

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.
