HELP WANTED! How do you condense ten fantastic days on the road in breathtaking Scotland down to one blog post. CONCLUSION: You can’t! So here is what I’ve decided to do, take the best moments and break them down into a few different categories: sweet memories, shock-factors, laughable moments, and lessons learned.

Sweet Memories:

  1. Little Elsa with the card.
  2. Teacher gifts.
  3. Owen telling us that Americans are the standard.

Shock-factors:

  1. Americans are easily noticeable.
  2. Questions about politics.
  3. Luggage on the trains.
  4. How quiet the cities were.

Laughable moments:

  1. The amount of times we visited the grocery store.
  2. Lion King.
  3. Karaoke

Lessons Learned:

  1. We don’t give kids enough credit.
  2. Action without reflection is just a waste of time.
  3. Photos don’t capture the experience.
