Scotland is beautiful. The pictures really don’t do it justice, but I have to share anyway. Even just a street in downtown Edinburgh, Scotland looks cool.
Here are the kids on the Western Ireland coastline.
Typical two lane road in Ireland. Yes, we did a little damage to the left side of the car!
Walking in Glen Coe, Scotland with a lollipop.
Urquhart Castle in Scotland. It was in The Water Horse movie. Really neat castle ruins.
The husband’s favorite pub.
Me and The Girl walking through a monster hedge in Edinburgh Botanical gardens
First words out of the husband’s mouth: “What the he-doublehockeysticks did you just buy? You gotta be kidding me! They sell watering cans at Target! That’s ridiculous.” Then he was quiet for about 15 minutes. Then a few bad words. Then he repeated the phrase above a few more times.
My response? “What’s the big deal…. it will fit in the backpack.” And it did! By the way, I had several compliments on my watering can as I got on the plane. The guy at the security machine said, “That’s a first. I’ve never had anyone bring a watering can on a plane before.”
If you are a husband, let this be a warning. If you allow your wife and children into a store unattended and stand outside for more than five minutes, know they are buying something. You can either, a: go in and see what they are up to
or b: suffer the consequences. In this case the consequence would be having to walk a 1/2 mile back to the hotel down a busy street with kids in kilts and crazy hats while having 95% of the people you walk by stare and or giggle or in the case of one lady, photograph you.
Scoop the poop or pay!!!

If I remember right, you and the Girl took a trip to Europe. Do you have any suggestions – staying safe, how you carried your phone, etc? I and our daughter are traveling to Italy. Friends have warned us about pickpockets, but haven’t given a solution. Thanks in advance.

We’ve been several times and we never carried purses… but we both wore money belts and had them basically tucked in our pants. I would never go out with a purse or flash my phone around.
