Pipestem Resort State Park

Road Trip, States, West Virginia

After an overnight at Coshocton KOA we headed south. So many times we have driven the West Virginia Turnpike between Princeton and Parkersburg and seen a sign for Pipestem Resort State Park. So many times we’ve commented that some day we need go there. Today’s the day for our first foray. It’s just a one night stay but it’s giving us the message that we’ll want to return. We checked out the Bluestone Dining Room for dinner and had a wonderful view then we perused the hallway portrait gallery of national notables who hail from near here including but not limited to the Rocket Boy, Homer Hickham, Olympic Gold Medalist Mary Lou Retton, Recording artist, Bill Withers, TV Star, Don Knotts, and many many more. We’ll hang out on a pleasant evening in the campground and move on tomorrow but now we know this is a great place for hiking and biking as well as just relaxing.

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

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.
