Edinburgh, Scotland

Last weekend we were able to visit Edinburgh, Scotland. We weren't necessarily looking to travel quite yet, but with a four-day weekend ahead of us, and an empty house while we wait for our belongings, we decided to head out. It took us about 7 hours to get there, and it was a beautiful drive! I couldn't believe how green everything was.


We visited Edinburgh Castle, built high up on the rocks overlooking the city. It was so interesting! We loved walking through all the old buildings and the view was absolutely incredible.


We also visited a cute farm on the outskirts of the city and picked the most beautiful raspberries and strawberries. You could see the city and the ocean from the farm, and I think it was maybe my favorite part of the trip.

Edinburgh goes right up to the oceanfront, and we were able to walk along the beach for a little while. Again, the view was amazing (we kept pinching ourselves that we were actually there!), and the kids loved running around and playing in the sand. Matthew and Anna did so well on the trip - they had to walk a lot, but they were great sports and really loved everything we got to do.


It was a great trip and such a lovely country! Definitely my favorite place we have traveled here so far. :)
