First Days in Edinburgh, Scotland

So we made it!!!  
After a few cliches along the way(forgotten suitcase(my bad, thank you Sara for covering my arse!!), a sick Jackson on the plane(Who knew he had a bit of motion sickness...but he was sitting next to Brad...pay back in my book...and very sleepy children)  all is well as we tackle the cold and dampness that is Scotland this summer.  They have been overwhelmed by rain here.  


We spent the first day walking to High Street where the queen, Prince Will and Kate were just being honored at St. James cathedral...we literally were walking against the crowd as they were carrying their scottish flags.  Oh well.  Obvs Brad needs to learn how to use my camera...lessons will be given!  Lots of bag pipers were roaming the city which is always a thrill to see and hear.  We then caught a double decker tour bus...kids fell asleep!  THen we headed back to our flat to get picked up by cousin Ian and had a great home cooked meal with Ian, Wendy and Lindsey...I was toooo tired to take pictures...ugh!
Cheers!
