I (heart) Scotland

Things have been very busy recently. Nothing too exciting, but just time consuming. We were gladly able to get away to Scotland this weekend with some friends. I don't know what it is, but every time I go there, I am so impressed with the place. It's a beautiful place to visit and now that we know of a nice place only 3 hours from home, perhaps we will make it up there more often for weekend camping trips. Farmer Jim (the guy who reluctantly agreed to let us sleep in his field) probably wouldn't like that, but we'd figure something out.

The point of the weekend was to do as little as possible. It seems that whenever we travel, we never stop moving. For this trip, we only moved the cars once, and that was to go further down the hill to get out of the wind.

It was a simple weekend. We slept in tents, ate food off the grill (way easier than the campfire), and walked around the hills and beaches. On the drive back down, we stopped off at Holy Island, which is only accessible during low tide, to see the castle and town. I also bought some mead, which is awesome. It tastes like you are drinking slightly alcoholic honey water, but it is 30 proof, so it works its magic pretty quickly.

I have the day off tomorrow, but if all goes well I will get my car to the shop for its required yearly testing and then install a new floor in the hallway. In the near future, I will be putting in some tile in the kitchen and bathroom. I've never used an angle grinder before, so hopefully it goes well. The tile I got for the kitchen are about $11 each, so accidents will be costly.

In just over a week, I will be on a plane for the cabin trip and a wedding. I'm looking forward to it.
