Tuesday was our last day in Scotland. We started the day with a tour in the double-decker red tour bus.
We went to the Kelvingrove Art Museum.
After the art museum, we ate lunch at the Willow Tea Room. The Willow Tea Room was opened in 1904. It was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, an architect and designer whose style was a cross between Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau. His simple style was very different from the Victorian fashion of his day. The girls and Melanie had "Afternoon Tea" and Brian had rarebit.
Tea was followed by a shopping spree, which Brian opted out of--not sure why. Grandparents and friends gave the girls spending money for our trip, and they were NOT going to come home with any money left over. We found a great clothing store called Primark and an accessory store Bethany Herman recommended called Accessorize.
After a full day of appreciating art, partaking of afternoon tea, and shopping, we went out to dinner and packed for the trip home.
We are thankful for our wonderful trip and the memories we made as a family!
