Scotland::Edinburgh

We had 2 days to explore Edinburgh. Our apartment was about a mile outside the city center so we definitely got some walking in as went back to the apartment every day for nap time. We loved having an apartment and ate most meals in which was a lot more relaxing with Chase in tow.

On Caton Hill overlooking Edinburgh.

Brad forgot  to fill his contact case with solution the night before so he had to wear his glasses. While looking at this picture he informed me he looked like a retarded superman. I thought he was cute :)

 We took a break to let Chase throw rocks.

 We then went to the Museum of Scotland. Normally I am not a fan of museums. We have to walk through them quickly or Chase gets bored and restless. This one was really good though. A lot of interesting information and some interactive stuff for Chase.

 After the museum we stopped at an overlook of the train station so Chase could watch beets. He is insistent that a train is a beet.

 We took a underground city tour. They were trying to scare us with stories of spirits and stuff. In one room they made the women and men stand on opposite ends of a dark vault to even out the spirits or something. But Chase kept saying mommy mommy so the tour guide let me go to the guys side.

 A view of Edinburgh Castle.

Chase had a great view of busses and beets from the castle. He could have stayed there and watched for hours pointing out everything that goes by.

In front of the church that John Knox (supposedly a great reformer although I've never heard of him until now) preached at.

This is why we didn't get a ton of sleep up there. I think the baby cot was pretty old and not comfortable so Chase kept climbing out.

Our trip also included a visit to the pool, listening to 2 books on CD during the travels, almost running out of gas trying to get to the RAF base that we could get gas on and a stop at the outlet mall. It was a great time to spend as a family.
