On a whim, my dad and I decided to go to Scotland for 10 days.We spent 4 days together in Inverness with family and then I headed down to Glasgow to stay with some friends while he lingered in the north. Scotland is my second home. I feel so connected to my friends and family there and to the lush landscape. My trip was well rounded as I got to frolic in the highlands and then experience what it's like to be a "hip" and cultured Glaswegian with my friends Deena and Kim. I can't wait to go back!
