Edinburgh

Last weekend was the beginning of the half-term break (and also the Queen's Jubilee Celebration), so we took advantage of John's extra days off and drove up to Edinburgh.  The kids loved the double decker tour bus and taking audio tours of the sites.  We had nice, relatively-clear days (better than the rain they had in London!) and beautiful scenery along our drives.  We do, however, note that these excursions are "family trips" - not "vacations."  (The days were busy and full!)
