Scotland!

After a lot of thought, Casy and I have decided to go to Scotland for our honeymoon. Our flights have been booked, our accommodation is (almost) set, and we are so excited.

And because I've been so excited, I've been obsessed with learning about Scotland...looking at pictures, hanging a map of Scotland up at work, and trying the accent on for size (it's a tough one to master). In my hunt for information, I stumbled upon a perfectly lovely blog called Scotland for the Senses and it has become (and will remain) one of my favorite places in the blogosphere. Here are some of my favorite pictures, taken by the talented Sophia...and there are many more on her blog!

Really the only thing we don't have set in stone is how we'll get around once we are actually in Scotland. The prospect of driving on the wrong side of the road makes me a little nervous, but we both love the thought of having such independence and of driving along roads like this:

BUT the train system in Scotland is nothing short of amazing and it makes traveling like this look like fun too. I don't think we'd do a tour...we'd just use it to get from place to place. And then if we found we wanted to rent a car in one place or another for a day, we could definitely do that too.

We're bound to run into a few graveyards like these (photos still from Scotland for the Senses)...so Jill can expect some pretty awesome pictures, dates, and names when we get back!

We've already gotten a lot of good ideas about where to go and what to see, so we're putting together a very rough itinerary (more like a checklist)...but we're always open to more ideas if you have any, so feel free to leave a comment!

Love, T.
