Goodmans Go to Edinburgh


We really enjoyed our visit to Scotland last month. We normally enjoy our travels to other countries and cultures, climates and cultures. What made this trip different were two things: we were visiting our daughter who is studying abroad in Edinburgh, and we were traveling with my parents. In fact, this trip marked the first time that three generations of Goodmans traveled together in Europe.

Our home base was in Edinburgh, but our travels together brought us to the Highlands, Loch Ness, Glasgow, Rosslyn Chapel, and other destinations along the way. We scaled to the top of Edinburgh Castle and followed the Royal Mile to the bottom where her Majesty's Holyrood Palace awaits. 

We took a few snapshots. Actually, a few hundred. Well, a couple thousand, give or take. Here are some of the better ones. Take a look at the album at the link.

Enjoy!

Nessie II



According to even die-hard Nessie hunters, the Loch Ness Monster may have died. Sightings are down.

Not to worry: we're putting three generations of Goodmans on the case.

My Daughter, Nicole, is studying abroad this semester at Edinburgh Napier University. So for spring break, my wife, son, and I are going to visit her. Joining us are my own parents. Three generations of Goodmans in Scotland at the same time.

Nataliya and I visited Scotland in 2014, so this will be a reunion in more way than one. We plant so spend most of our time in Edinburgh, but will take a trip Sterling Castle, most likely Glasgow, and plan to spend a day in the highlands with a cruise along Loch Ness in search of Nessie. I'll be sure to bring along my Loch Ness Monster hunting hat that I brought back in 2014.
