Well, sadly we did not find Nessie! We sure looked though! Instead, we headed for the Isle of Skye, where we stopped to see a few castles, beautiful scenery, and a ridiculous number of sheep! The drivers spent most of their time avoiding taking one out, as well as evading bikers, busers, etc. while on a single-track road! Next, we toured the Talisker Distillery (yuck, whiskey is icky!) and it was pretty interesting. Then, we traveled by car ferry back to the mainland. We drove to Oban with a quick stop in Glencoe, where we walked around to look at the [View Full Entry]

Hello all you crazy kids! We have spent the past 4 days meandering through Scotland, searching for the origins of golf and the elusive Nessie. She's tricky to catch! We spent 3 nights in Edinburgh, in the world's best B&B. We wandered the Royal Mile, visited the Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, where the Queen chills when she's in Scotland. Our last day, we hiked up a mountainside to Arthur's Seat. When I say hiked, I mean mountain climbed. The trails were unmarked, and we chose our path poorly, as the path ceased to exist halfway up the mountain. Ry and [View Full Entry]

Hello all! A quick update from the U.K. On Monday the 13th, we all met up at Trafalgar Square in London. Jenae' and I waited patiently while the Mamas found their way across the pond. We took a quick buzz through the National Gallery before heading up (and I mean UP!) in the London Eye. It was a great evening for it as the skies were clear and the view was spectacular. We all headed back to the B&B so the Mamas could crash! On Tuesday, we started our day with a 3-hour bike tour! Our tour guide was named Dez [View Full Entry]

I am off to merry olde England tomorrow to begin our mother/daughter trip (together with Meredith, of course). She and her best friend, Jenae' have been studying for the past 8 weeks in Spain. Now they are off on a vacation with their Mamas. The girls will be arriving in London on Sunday, July 12th from Madrid, while the 2 Moms will be flying across the Atlantic on Sunday, arriving in London on Monday morning. I'm sure the girls can amuse themselves for 1 night in London. Pretty sure that pubs will be involved...hahaha. Our plan is to meet on Monday [View Full Entry]
