Happy Birthday to meeeee!! For all of those who don't know, I'm now 20 years old. That's right folks I'm not a teenager anymore.
Our trip to Scotland was awesome. We left Thursday night after I had a nice Valentine's Day dinner with a new fella that I must tell everyone about. Chris and I broke up on Valentine's Day which kind of started the day off horribly...but later on I had a date with the new boy I've been seeing. He's very nice and handsome, everyone will like him a lot. There's been a lot of drama that I can't even begin to explain, but it's just all petty and relationship geared, boring!!
So after our date, we went to Scotland for the weekend and arrived about 10am. We couldn't check in until 1pm so we just walked around the city for awhile and explored. It's a gorgeous place! We checked in and got settled, took a short nap, then took a tour of Edinburgh ending at the castle. It was gorgeous, I have tons of pictures. It's a very interesting city too, you'll soon learn that the Scottish do NOT like the English!
Anyway, Saturday we went to the William Wallace Museum and Monument, then later Wheeler and I went to the Scottish Gallery of Art and the Aslem Exhibit at another art gallery. It was a lot of fun, and the exhibit had amazing photos. (They were all taken primarily of the US and in the 1920-60s....the early on ones are impressive considering the lack of technology) Then we went to dinner and had a hotel party with our whole gorup. It was tons of fun, we were playing stupid drinking games and ended up playing spin the bottle. We went to 'The Rat Pack' club downtown and hung out there for a few hours until it got too crowded with old people. It was a lot of fun, we were having fun dancing to all the different music.
On my birthday, Sunday...we were driving home and on our way home we made a stop in York. It's not a very big city, but pretty significant. They still have the remains of the mote, the castle walls, and a gorgeous cathedral. We took a tour of York and learned a lot about it's history...including about the Parliament and how they had to relocate to York during the 2nd World War. King Henry VIII also has a palace there but he only stayed there 4 times. It was really neat.
On hte ride home we slept a lot, ate, then slept somemore! Tonight is the night we are celebrating my birthday. The boys are making me spaghetti and we're going to 80p night at the Student Union. It should be a good time. I'm excited!!
Well I hope everyone had a great holiday, and is safe and well. Love you!!
Cheers!
