Wild Wonderful
West Virginia is along our route today as we trek north for a quick visit to Ohio to watch granddaughters dance this weekend. As always we were marveling at the landscape and this time really delighted in the Redbud trees blooming at the edge of the woods all along...
Blennerhassett Island
Often our adventures are serendipitous, prompted by a road sign or something we have found in an app such as Yelp!, Clio, or Apple Maps, but this time it was planned before we left the house back in April. Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park is located on an...
Blennerhassett Museum
Included in our tickets package for the trip to Blennerhassett Island was also admission of the the Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History. It's part of the state park but actually located in downtown Parkersburg, West Virginia. We saved the museum for later in the...
The Rusty Nail Winery
What a delight to go hang out for a couple of hours in a winery knowing that the trek home is walking just a few yards to our camper. That's just what Mike and Shelly offered us at The Rusty Nail in Martinsburg, West Virginia last night. Lucky for us they joined...
Pipestem Resort State Park
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...

OUR VERY
LATEST
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
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
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.
