We recently had the pleasure of more visitors here in London….my Aunt Deborah and Uncle Jim from Florida! They came to check out London but also planned a long weekend in Edinburgh and we decided to join them. We hadn’t done any traveling since we moved to London and we were ready to start exploring again. Edinburgh had been on our list of places to visit so it was perfect. Our first adventure out as a family of four.
We took a 4.5 hour train ride which surprisingly went well and felt quick. The girls both did so well! Edinburgh greeted us with true Scottish weather….cold and rainy. We arrived on a Thursday and lucky for us, that was the worst of it for the weekend. We didn’t see rain anymore after Thursday.
We had two full days to explore all of Edinburgh. With two kids we moved a bit slower but managed to check out a number of things. We went up to the Edinburgh castle where we had blue skies and great views. Of course we walked the Royal Mile and went to the National Museum of Scotland. This was great as it had a number of exhibits that were specifically geared towards kids and Josephine loved it! There was of course a whiskey tasting that Nate and my aunt were specifically interested in. And we played in the Princes Street Gardens.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and Edinburgh in general. It was charming with such character. Josephine still talks about how she wants to “go back to Edinburgh”. Maybe someday….or at least back to Scotland.
