Edinburgh. Edinburgh is a city filled with many treasures. Some treasures that I stumbled upon, I didn't even discover what they were until I returned home and searched for them. Mercat Cross. One such treasure was the Mercat Cross. In case you're wondering what in the heck is a Mercat cross (I know I was), it's [...]
Edinburgh. Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland. It has been recognized as the capital since at least the 15th Century. Given that traces of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements have been found at Castle Rock and Arthur's Seat, it should come as no surprise that Edinburgh is teeming with historical places. St. [...]
Edinburgh. Edinburgh holds so many treasures that on a short visit it's hard to even scratch the surface of all there is to do and see. National Museum of Scotland. One such treasure is the National Museum of Scotland. The museum is located on Chambers Street and is open daily from 10:00-17:00 (except closed Christmas [...]
Edinburgh, Scotland. Do you remember last month when I shared the photo above? If not, it was when I shared about our stay at Princes Street Suites in Edinburgh.

The teens haven't been to school for the ENTIRE [...]

Needless to say, before committing, I visited their website, Photowall.com, to read about the company. Environmentally Friendly. One of the first things that [...]
Royal Yacht Britannia. With all this talk of Royal weddings, I thought that today we'd visit the Royal Yacht Britannia. The Royal Yacht Britannia served the Royal Family from 1954 until it was decommissioned in 1997. It traveled over 1,000,000 during that time span. But you may already know those facts. Indeed, it's likely that [...]
Glasgow, Scotland. Even though I only spent two days in Glasgow, I fell in love with this city. Its architecture, its friendly people, its history. Ancestry. The trip to Scotland with my aunt and mother was to trace some of our ancestral histories. To be able to walk along some of the streets where our [...]
