Scotland, Oh Scotland!!

Scotland was amazing!! We flew from London to Aberdeen and it was only an hour and 15 minutes. Not too shabbs. We went straight to my mom/step dads flat and unpacked, got the tour, had snaks and relaxed. Their flat is so perfect, and quaint--great for the 2 of them! 

Cheers!! 


We had reservations at a nice restaurant all the nights we were there. Lots of eating and drinking... But that's what a vacation without kids is all about, right? 🍷🎉🍷
I won't spell out each of the 6 days in Scotland but overall it was so awesome! We went to the casino one night, golf course happy hour on the ocean, visited Dunnattor Castle,


Leave it to my mom to have the most awesome rain boots with ribbons that match her jacket. Adorbs AND I love this pic!!! 😉💛



walked the downtown area (LoTS of walking the whole trip, actually!!!)!, shopped and had afternoon tea, 


toured a distillery, 




and also took a train to Edinburgh and spent one night there. In Edinburgh we went to the castle, 




stayed at an amazing bed & breakfast -- http://www.the-salisbury.co.uk -- we had a gorgeous upgrades suite room. They have a super nice restaurant connected to the hotel and they just so happened to have a 'wine pairing 5 course dinner' that night. We couldn't pass it up. It was SO delicious and I might have drank the equivalent of 2 bottles of wine myself that night! Bonkers! 



The breakfast the next morning was great and then we headed back on the train back to Aberdeen. The views of the countryside, hills, sheep and ocean were truly breathtaking!
