The Watsons arrive in Scotland

Hello again! As our Spring Break arrived, so did the Watsons, coming all the way from Langley. Jamie and Audine organized a great farewell for us before we left, and their kids Rachel and Breanna just happen to be two of Sophie and Emma's best friends. Here are a few shots of things we did in our own home town of Edinburgh.

Here are Sophie and Rachel standing in front of the Lord of the Rings like Scott Monument.

Emma and Breanna with Deacon Brodie, the real-life inspiration for The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

While the girls all went shopping, Isaiah, Jamie and I went to Glasgow to visit the Kelvingrove Natural History Museum.

Isaiah's favourite exhibition was the Egyptian rooms, where he led the tour for Jamie and I. Here he poses with some hieroglyphics.

Jamie in a stare-down with a statue. Intense.

You can never get too much medieval arms and armour!

Probably the strangest exhibit. Seemed out of place considering that the rest of the room was filled with skulls of various exotic animals. I thought it made the room way better.

Elvis and I do a little dancing. Isaiah was a little embarassed.

We also visited the Museum of Transport where there were all kinds of weird and wonderful vehicles, including this cool Messerschmidt 3 wheel car.

Kim and Audine visiting an old ruin overlooking the city.

Emma, Breanna, and Emma's friend Anna who was visiting from Ireland, walking through Holyrood park.

Here is a spooky vault under the city that we went in on our "ghost tour". Interesting places, but not a lot of ghosts. I like this photo because I took it at the same time as someone else, which silouetted the people for an interesting effect.

The girls after the tour. Looking a little unsure of themselves...

Next stop - Southern England! See you there!
