Highlights

    Our run tour gave us the chance to hang out with another active mom - she told us what life is like for women our age and we now understand more about the Scottish referendum!

    The Scottish museum gave us an appreciation for the Industrial Revolution.

Day 1

After a quick morning in Belfast (very cheap flight into Dublin and a short bus ride north), I hopped on a short flight to Edinburgh. The train into the city was easy to navigate, and the Intercontinental is right by a stop. We had a nice walk around the old town and hit the hay early!
