Weekend Twenty / Edinburgh

This weekend we took a train up to Edinburgh this weekend. My parents and I stayed at a cute little B&B near the city center. We walked all around the Royal Mile which is the main touristy street in the center. Of course we hit Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse Palace and Abby. We saw lots of kilts and there were bagpipers on lots of street corners. We also hike up Arthur's Seat (in flip flops, oops). It's about a 45 min hike up with wonderful views of Edinburgh. Here is me on top of the Seat!


I took Monday off to tour London a bit with my parents. We had a great tour of Westminster Abby. We went to the Cabinet War Rooms and the Churchill museum (very good!). And finally rounded out the day with a Jack-the-ripper tour. It was really good and kinda gross!!

On the home front, my friend Katie is having her baby Tanner today. Yahoo!! Plus Mat gets in tomorrow and I am super excited about that. Jose and Pavan's wedding is on Sunday and my sari is all ready to go. Pavan's grandfather died over the weekend so that's not so nice but hopefully the wedding will be a nice celebration.
