Road Trippin' with the 'Rents

When I got into U of London, my parents "volunteered" to help me move across the Atlantic. After dragging 6 suitcases (a girl's got to be prepared:)) from the airport, to the the hotel, on the tube station, to my flat, and then kettle balling them up four flights of stairs; I think they were rethinking their volunteerism. If that wasn't bad enough I forced them to scrub my flat including my toilet which appeared to have NEVER been cleaned. In an effort to allow them some fun on their "vacation", we decided to road trip through the "Kingdom". As we pulled out of the rental car company's parking lot into oncoming traffic, I was rethinking that decision. But with Handsome Rob at the wheel and the Human Compass as the navigator, driving on the wrong side of the street could not deter us. We almost dies 10 times in the first three minutes but we finally got the hang of it...on the last day. Lucky for us the middle finger means the same thing on both sides of the pond and driving the wrong way on a round about doesn't end in immediate death.

Between rounds of whiplash we were able to see some pretty amazing sites. Scotland is beautiful and Edinburgh is becoming one of my favorite cities even if they eat blood and sheep intestines for breakfast. We hit the follow sites: Windsor Castle, Stratford upon Avon, Lake District, Glasgow, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh, and Warwick Castle.

We covered a lot of ground in four and a half days and have the seat belt bruises to prove it. Highlights include seeing the house where my great grand father was born and the cemetery where my five great grandpa was buried.

The scenery was amazing and we passed the time by engaging in political debates and listening to JB.

"Handsome Rob really did a great job getting us to and fro and will gladly provide his services to anyone willing to make the trek. I'd suggest you bring your own neck brace.
