Free Day in Scotland

Hello!
Abbey and Caroline here...with news about our wee little shopping trip through Edinburgh! Though the exchange rate of $1.70 = £1 set us back a little bit, we were all able to buy plenty of trinkets made exclusively for tourists. Consider it a kilt-extravaganza over here! We spent part of the day at the royal mile and then ventured on to the Britainnia (the queen's yacht) for the afternoon. The Royal Mile was filled with kilted gents, loud bag pipes, pesty vendors, and William Wallace. Most of us had an expensive American lunch at subway while some of us went to Wannaburger, which took a little longer (cough boys). So we waited, and waited, and Cam, Abbey, and Caroline had a fantabulous photo shoot....with just about every phonebooth, statue, and stairs in about a 20 foot radius while all of the locals stared and laughed. The Britanna was a boat. a big boat. a HUGE boat! Here Ken was quick to join the photoshoot by posing as the captain. We also went to John Knox's house where Ken also joined the photoshoot, letting his imagination run free as he acted as John Knox himself. Well, that was our free day spent in Scotland, and we definitely needed it with our packed schedule for the rest of the week! We'll end this jolly ol' blog with a Happy Father's Day! We love you Dad!
