After seeing everything that we possibly could in London we boarded a train that took us on to Scotland! The views of the English countryside were so beautiful! We had been in the city the entire time and for this small town country girl it was nice to see the country again. I love being able to do so many things in a big city but I've decided that the hustle and bustle just is not my thing. So needless to say, I LOVED Scotland! We took the train to Edinburgh (also a pretty big city but nothing in comparison to London). We stayed in an awesome little bed and breakfast. Breakfast wasn't served until 830 each morning! Oh my, by 830 each morning at home I have usually gone for a run (IF I drag myself out of bed before the babies), cooked breakfast, cleaned up, done a few loads of laundry and counting down the minutes until Jack's morning nap. I'm sure all stay at home mom's will understand that! I don't sleep in ever, but I got to here! We went to the Edinburgh castle the first morning we were there. It was really cool. We of course stayed for the one o'clock cannon fire.

View of the city of Edinburgh
After leaving the castle we walked the Royal Mile and somehow I got talked into doing a little mountain hiking. It really wasn't too bad and the view was awesome! We also were able to get some running in that afternoon. Adam of course went for a long run and I just went to a nearby park and ran around it. The weather was just perfect, cool and misting rain! Both nights we were there we walked to the coastline and ate at some really cool places right there at the sea. So relaxing! We rented a car in Edinburgh and headed to northern Scotland. Now I wasn't too nervous about the whole other side of the road and car thing since we had rented a car last year in Australia but I had forgotten about all of those turn abouts. AHHH!!! Seriously! You would just get up to speed and there would be another one! We stayed in a little town called Killen and it had a river with a beautiful waterfall in the town. Such a nice little town! There were people who were there just to hike (or trail walking as they called it) more on that later... Here are a few picks from Killen and at a couple of places we stopped along the way!
