We really wanted to go to England and Scotland, because so many of our favorite stories take place here, or were written here. We saw a lot of "storybook" places on our trip, like places where Harry Potter was inspired, where Pride and Prejudice was filmed, and where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien hung out. We were also really excited to see the beautiful rugged landscape of Scotland (and were not disappointed!).

I was in Paris when some friends of mine, who live in England, told me they'd be in London for a weekend holiday. It's only a couple hours away by high-speed train, so I decided to join them on a whim, as I'd never seen the city before. I arrived at King's Cross station (of Harry Potter fame) and changed my Euros to Pounds for a four day exploration of the major tourist sites in one of the most influential cities in the world.

My mother lived in London for a year when she was a college student, so I thought it would be fun to go back there with her. I've always wanted to visit the West End as well and see a play in the theatre district.

I had a work event in Belfast and convinced a friend we needed to meet for kilted yoga in Scotland
