Scotland


Arvid and I went to Edinburgh, Scotland!!! 
October 2011

We went all around town and saw lots of the major sites, including the Edinburgh Castle.

In the city

On a tour bus

We visited the Royal Yacht Britannia that was used by Queen Elizabeth and family for years. Pictured are the queen's bedroom, study, Charles and Diana's room from their honeymoon and many of the other rooms on the yacht. It was fabulous!

and where Diana played the piano

(which name I can't remember)
where the prince's picture was taken in the past


Arvid is posing outside of our townhouse (turned into a hotel). 
We had our own apartment with a huge living room, bedroom and a tiny bathroom and kitchen. 
It was such a great place that we wish we could have hosted a party.

Inside the Master Bedroom
The Living Room
We also rented a brand new Mini Cooper S and drove around the countryside. We visited Loch Lomond (and of course had to sing the song about the loch). 
Posing with my mini!
The last place in the country that we visited was St. Andrew's Golf Course - the birthplace of golf. As a golf enthusiast, Arvid was so glad to be able to be there. It was beautiful!
