Home Sweet Home
We made it home last night and enjoyed sleeping in our own bed! Still a little jet legged today, but hopefuly we will be good for work tomorrow morning. Now would be the time for me to share how many miles we walked since I bought this really cool Jawbone Up bracelet that tracks all […]
Unplanned / "Restful" Day
Today was an extra day that we didn’t really have anything in particular planned except that we would continue to explore Edinburgh. What we didn’t anticipate is we didn’t really have much left to do (that we wanted to do, anyways)… Leading us to having a very unplanned and somewhat restful day. It was nice […]
The Tattoo!!!!!
As I said in the last post, we didn’t get home until after midnight yesterday and were just too exhausted to even think about blogging. But it was well worth it! It was a very long day starting in Edinburgh at 9am. Our B&B is about a mile from town centre, but it is completely […]
What a Day!
It is past midnight here, and we are just getting home from being in Edinburgh since 9am. We are too exhausted to even look through pictures tonight. I’ll see what I can do about doing another post in the morning =) Tonight was our main attraction and the entire reason we planned a trip to […]
Hoot Hoot
In the early stages of planning our trip, I stumbled upon a falconry that allowed you to handle birds of prey (falcons, hawks, wood eagle, ravens and owls). I knew we had to visit and so I booked an owl experience for Kevin and I. And what an experience it was! It just so happened […]
History Lessons
I’m going to change it up and start with a picture, because we checked into our CASTLE this evening. Yes, it is a castle, and yes, it is amazing. Here’s the view from our window. The room is massive and gorgeous. The restaurant is in the dungeon full of knight’s armour, and the other restaurant […]
Two Words: Hurricane Bertha
Well we’ve definitely gotten great use out of our rain coats. I just wish I had rain pants and wellies to go with it. My feet were wet all day today – so wet that I could ring out my socks after our adventure into St. Andrew’s town centre (I spell things Scottish now…) this […]
Back to the Mainland
Today was a long driving day to get us back on the mainland. Perfect weather however we would have preferred the rain today as opposed to tomorrow. Anti-rain dance everyone! We managed to sneak in a few cool sites along the way: Eilean Donan Castle (the castle from Made of Honor, also one of the […]
Just a little "mist"….
According to Bill (host at our current B&B), rain is a bad word on the Isle of Skye. You can’t tell someone that it might rain today, because then they will just want to leave the Isle. Instead, whenever speaking of any precipitation, they reference it as mist. Well… we had just a little “mist” […]
