On Thursday we said goodbye to Christopher’s mom after a wonderful week-and-a-half long visit. We had a great time together with lots of site-seeing, talking and “grandma-time”. Julian was, of course, thrilled to have a real-live grandma (as opposed to a Skype-grandma) to play with him and read to him.
The highlight of her time with us was probably the trip we made up to the Isle of Skye for two nights at a B&B. Not only was the six hour drive thoroughly enjoyable as we viewed the wild and varied scenery of the Scottish Highlands, but the Isle itself is breathtakingly beautiful. Here are a few shots of our time there–if only pictures could do it justice!
