Scotland 2008

In early April 2008, Alex, the Wee One, and I all hiked off to Scotland for a couple of weeks of together time. We went to London, passed through Glasgow, Oban, Iona, back through Oban, through Glasgow, up to Inverness, stopped in Edinburgh for tea (no, I’m not kidding), York, and St. Alban’s before coming home again. Seems like a lot, but it was a really nice trip.
