Scotland!!

Wow, we are back from a three week Fantastic trip!!! We've just downloaded our photos.... over 1,000....sooo I am sifting through them now. It may take a few days to get the trip photos fully on here as we are suffering from jet lag big time! I have to tell myself that it is only 5 pm....(although my body thinks it is 2 am!) Let's start from the beginning...

The week before we left was a fantastic week at Kindling's Fest on Orcas. Very inspiring. We had a nice time with some new friends on the ferry before heading down to Seattle. It was a good start to the trip.
After the ferry ride and about 4 hours of sleep, we flew to N.Y. (5 hours) then a 4.5 hour lay over and another 7 hour flight to Scotland. We arrived at 8:30 am on Tuesday! We got to Mum and Dad's and tried to stay awake. It was nice to be back in Dundee...
The kids with Granny & Papa... bright eyed by day two!
A trip over to Gaynor's to see Kirstin and her hamster Sampson.

Broughty Ferry Castle
We walked right up to the water and saw dolphins. They were big bottle nosed dolphins. They played the whole time we were walking through the castle. Papa said he's never seen them here. Finally I don't scare the marine life away!!! :)
The kids playing at Castle Green. This is only about three blocks from Granny and Papa's house. We loved this park!


Back home in the conservatory. Nice and warm.
