Oh Goodness...

Well, yet again, I've failed at keeping this thing up-to-date. I didn't feel like I had anything exciting to write and then Easter vacation happened and I didn't have time. I guess I'll start with some pictures from Edinburgh and go from there.

A lovely view from the Sir Walter Scott Monument

Edinburgh Castle - it was so pretty sitting up on that hill!

The Sir Walter Scott Monument from the ground - we climbed all 287 steps to the top!

Some pretty gardens along the way

My friends like to climb on things...

Memorial to Greyfriars Bobby - legend has it that this dog was so loyal to his owner that, even after his owner's death, he would go and sit on his owner's grave everyday to guard it.

The birthplace of Harry Potter - you can't see the sign because the three girls are in the way, but that's where J.K. Rowling sat and began writing what now know to be the Harry Potter series.

Dolly!! That's right, the first mammal to be cloned is on display at the Edinburgh Museum. The science nerd in me got excited when I saw this!

Lovely view of Calton Hill

Another lovely view from Calton Hill

This shows what the prison at the Castle may have looked like while American soldiers from the American Revolution were being held prisoner.

The National War Memorial - you weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but they had memorials and monuments all throughout the building for all of the different branches and people who had served and died for their country.
