More Scotland fun


Just a few more things that we enjoyed during our trip.

We had rented a car. Drove on the opposite side of the road and wait for it, drove a stick shift.  Fun!! And if I never see a round about again, I won't be to sad. Krista was great navigating us. (If you ever go pay the extra $50 a day and get the GPS, TRUST US).

Tried haggis for the first and last time. So gross. Had some amazing Scottish scones and Scottish Lorne sausage. That has been my favorite breakfast since I was a little girl and still is.

My dad's side of the family is from Glasgow. My great grandmother is buried there and hope one day to make it back and visit her grave. Sadly time was running short. I did get to see the area of where my father was born. The flat above the pub is no longer there. I did get to see the street and the pub. That was still pretty exciting.



We spent a lot of our time in Edinburgh.
Here are just a few more pictures of the trip.







 Our guide for a haunted tour of the city. Highly recommend you do this when visiting.




Carberry Tower was an amazing place to stay. They were very accommodating. This is truly a place that every princess should stay at. I really cant say enough about this place. I LOVED IT!!


This was neat to see. 


 That sky is beautiful!!


Being able to hear street performers playing bag pipes, really added that special touch.

Truly wish we had more time here. This isn't everything that we had done or seen. These are just a few things that I wanted to share with everyone.  Krislynne grandfather was a Wallace. On our last day she got a tattoo of her grandfather signature with a heart. Kristas ancestors had come from here as well. I would like to think that this stop was special for all of us. And you know what, it really was.

Can you guess where we might be headed to next. I'll give you a hint- I was born there.

Europe here I come

EUROPE HERE I COME!!!  I'm super excited for this trip and even more excited that i will be going with one of my BESTIES.  (Everyone needs to have amazing BESTIES like I do) Krista's brother is in the Air Force and just moved to Germany. The perfect opportunity to see him and see the that part of the world. Krista and I have talked about going there for a trip. The places that we would want to see and do.  Sooooo, randomly one day Krista text me  "Guess who's going to Germany with me". I replied "Pam (her wife)" Krista "Nope" Me "Your mom"  Krista "Nope" To my surprise Pam has to work, her mom is going next year and its ME. I am the lucky one. Since I found out that I was invited I started what any sane person would do. Start making a list of things to do while we are there. We are both making a list of we feel we must see. I started doing research on flights, passport renewing, transportation while we are ther...
