Edinburgh

We drove from the Lake District to Edinburgh on Sunday afternoon and evening, getting here in time for dinner.  After spending two full days here, I've taken more pictures than Jen cares to see.  We've had a great last few days, and managed to avoid the rain until today.  We fly home (TDI-LHR-JFK-AUS) early tomorrow morning, getting back to Austin on Wednesday evening.
Drive into Edinburgh... we even drove through MIDLOTHIAN, Scotland!

 He even has a special camera sticker if you look closely. Love him.

 The most awesome hotel room everrr!

 We decided to get the audio tour for the Edinburgh Castle and it was worth it.

 British flag flying over the castle.

 We didn't know at the time, but this is apparently the Sir Walter Scott Monument (thanks to Jenna Anderson).

 View from a 147-step hike behind the hotel.

 A city monument, built and unfinished in late 1800s due to lack of funding.

 Holyrood

Beautiful Edinburgh.
