The National Museum of Royal Scotland...we heard it was good...but wow it was amazing. Brad's cousin's, Isabel and Helen braved the city traffic from Aberdeen to spend the afternoon with us. We arrived at the museum just as the doors opened...every museum is FREE here in the UK...what???
Each floor in this part of the museum has an area for kids! Over on the new wing each floor is dedicated to the history of Scotland...even there they have thought of kids adding little areas of play or experimentation.
We seriously were ready to collapse a few hours after lunch. The 7th floor terrace was a welcome blast of cold air that did little to revive us. I carried Abigail around for the first time in years(thank you 50lb free weight)!!!
Later that night we headed to high street for dinner at a casual pizza place, not bad, and good wine. We talked the kids into climbing Calton Hill just up the block from our flat. Wow that was an incredible view of Edinburgh and the waterways called the Firth of Forth. By the way, a hill in Scottish terms is equal to a Mountain to this Chicago girl...the ultimate stair master!!!
Saturday...Stirling Day...I'll hopefully be posting from our train ride to London in-between watching Andy Murray at Wimbolden!!!
