Probably in a Jeep, eating tacos with my dogs or on a fast horse.
It was Day 8 on our trip and was my imagination running a tbit too wild? Yes, yes it was! I could picture a young Katie in ancient times running through the kitchen of Eilean Donan Castle as well as being nabbed by the ghosts of the Claremont Hotel (of all places) in our hostel that night.
It's Day 8 and we might have been getting delirious as we fought over the last playing card that was currently in play for our ultimate card-game challenge: The Red Stag. A stop at the Hogwarts Express' route and a visual of the Bonnie Prince Charlie, before we continued on our way through the Scottish highlands.
Avoiding a parkting ticket, falling in love with Scotland, and adventuring through my new favorite little corner of this earth!
Randi played the first “I Spy” card of the trip to make a pit stop at a place called Gretna Green - a place she likened to Las Vegas. At first, I didn’t get it, but as we read the amazing stories about the Anvil Priests and the crazy elopement stories including pirates, lords and more, we were hooked!
Have you ever heard of Ghyll Scrambling? It’s like baby canyoneering or the equivalent of going down a hillside via a small creek wearing nothing but a wet suit, life jacket and helmet while you climb, jump and boulder your wa through cliffs, tree branches/roots and the terrain. A favorite of the regency era, we really enjoyed the opportunity to experience this with our guide John.

What I’m listening to…

Would your Super Bowl party be possible without beef? Maybe.
But the Super Bowl itself would not be - find out some more interesting beef facts here when it comes to Super Bowl!

Horses
Tall, fast, and with the records to prove it. Meet the horses that fill my barn!
Does a first ride count if there is no bridle involved and no intentional riding? I think I can count it halfway there as my baby heart horse and just meandered about together, enjoying the time and the brief break from spring showers.
Life’s Basics
From the “unnecessary necessities” to the people in life that fill your cup - this is just the portion that is “just my life.”
Travel
Nothing refreshes the mind, body and soul like travel.

The worst food we've had to date at a Moroccan restaurant that "hates Californians" - we aren't from California. We finally made it to Edinburgh!
