Day 5 in Scotland, March 29

WARNING: There are LOTS of pictures on this post!

This is City Chambers located by George Square which is right around the corner from our apartment.

All the pictures below were taken at Glasgow Cathedral, built in the 13th century over the tomb of St. Mungo, who died in 612.

Above: the tomb of St. Mungo

The pictures below were taken from the necropolis (graveyard) above the cathedral.

Day 4 in Scotland, March 28

Today was Madison's day to dance at Worlds. Stephanie, not Mom, does her hair and make-up!

Though she did not recall, Madison danced her very best, and we are all very proud of her. AND we know that if there had been a cuteness award, she would have won it by a landslide! We love you, Mooch!

Day 3 in Scotland, March 27

Madison and Stephanie practiced with our friend Miya in a conference room at Miya's hotel in the morning.

After practice (and much needed showers) we headed out to explore Glasgow's shopping district with Miya and her mom. We had lunch at a very healthy and delicious restaurant called "Pret a Manger."

Fire jugglers and street musicians!

Miya and Madison

Have I mentioned that we love Macs?

The Royal Concert Hall.

Our day ended with coffee at Costa. A great way to end a great day in Glasgow!

Day 2 in Scotland, March 27

Home away from home!

After we all slept in, we took a walk through Glasgow's Merchant City district. This is a view of Buchanan Street from the Royal Concert Hall where the Worlds Irish dance competition is being held.

We had our first authentic fish and chips at Chippy's.

Delicious!

This is the second post, so if you haven't seen the first one, keep reading!

Day 1 in Scotland, Thursday, March 25

In the Philadelphia airport getting ready to head to London.

We arrived in Scotland on time and caught a taxi to where we needed to check into our apartment. The only problem was--the credit card machine didn't work in the leasing office, and after about two hours of trying, Brian and Taylor had to go to the bank to get cash! You can see how tired the girls were after traveling for 15 plus hours!

Above is the view from the window of our apartment.

Our cute little kitchen, complete with a hob (oven/stove).

Our first meal was at a restaurant called SoHo. We had some great Italian food, and it is only about 20 steps from the front door of our apartment.

Brian chose a haggis and jalapeno pepper pizza!

And... we're off!

We are headed out to the Norfolk airport in a few minutes. We are going from Norfolk, to Philly, Philly, to London, and London to GLASGOW SCOTLAND! We are hoping to be posting a lot while we are there... so check our blog often for pictures and stories of our adventures in Europe! :) Love you guys and please pray for safe travel, great weather, and for the girls to dance their best! Madison dances Sunday, and Stephanie dances Wednesday. We'll be back in VA in about two weeks (April 8th). We are so excited, and we know we are going to make tons of memories, and remember this trip for a long time!
