RTW - week 3 (a surprise love affair)

Next up on our RTW tour is Scotland . We found some cheap flights out of Dublin, otherwise, we may not have hit up this country.

There is something about Scotland that has all of us swooning. There is no question that it is beautiful; rolling fields, mountains, cove like beaches etc. But the feel here is different.

Scotland is seriously underrated, and I highly encourage you to think about visiting. It’s amazing.

I know I say this every time, but of all the countries we have been too – Scotland is a place where we all feel we could live.

Our home is located in a small town, but has everything we could want, including a good size playground for the kids and grocery store within walking distance.

We are doing our best to keep things simple, but it still feels like we are moving at record pace. Its hard to believe that we will have been gone for almost a month soon. We barely get settled into the house before we have to pack up again!

The hiking here is stunning, and we trekked Ben A’An as well as Conic Hill our first week.

First time for the kids actually summiting a real mountain. The kind of mountain that has a real pronounced tip (you know the kind that every kid draws? ) – they were super proud of themselves and are now referring to themselves as “mountain climbers”.

They have also been begging us to go on a train since arriving , and since they are free here, we took them to Edinburgh for a day.

We visited the Museum of Childhood, the Art Gallery and the National Museum of Scotland. Oh and guess what else we got to do?

Go to another playground. Seriously, why did we even leave Canada?

As for the agenda next week? Find a few sweet parks, read a book and continue to procrastinate learning Spanish.
