Edinburgh






Colton loved riding the train to Edinburgh. We had a great morning coloring, snacking and watching the world speed by.


After arriving at our hotel and taking a break, we hiked to the castle. It started raining and it was about to close so we headed to the nearest pub.







































After dinner, we did some more sightseeing and then stopped for gelato...yummy!

























You can see who enjoyed it the most!


We stopped by the Elephant House again.


















In Greyfriars cemetary
















And on the way back to the hotel, we ran into Mulligan's pub.

















The next morning, we walked from our hotel down Princes Street. Great views. Colton had fun playing leapfrog on the benches with Grampy.

































Our first stop was Holyrood Palace. I had seen a BBC special on it and was eager to see it as it was the last of the royal palaces on my list. I've officially been to them all!
































The abbey behind the palace was really interesting.


We then headed up the Royal Mile for a bit of shopping.
