Scotland
This was one of our first big trips in summer of 2010. Our adventure started in Glasgow as we tried to combat our jet-lag but quickly moved into the Highlands of Scotland, Isle of Sky, all the way around Loch Ness, Elgin, Edinburgh, to Hadrian's wall, & back to Glasgow. Beautiful rolling hills, hundreds of castles, and thousands of sheep awaited us just beyond the city walls. We tried haggis and a few of the local brews and lets just say I prefer Tex Mex and margaritas. We rented a small European car and set out with nothing but our cameras and a road map, creating our destiny as we explored the windy roads. We tuned the radio to the BBC and immersed ourselves in the culture while secretly trying to master the Scottish accent. Along the way we saw wonderful monuments and even had a chance to play King & Queen at Balmoral Castle for an evening, but the the real beauty & adventure was hidden deep within the wilderness.
