After a too short visit in Edinburgh, we flew to L

After a too short visit in Edinburgh, we flew to London to start our journey home. Since we booked flights with points, we couldn’t get all of us on the same flight so those of us who had more flexible work schedules stayed a couple nights in London. As I had been before, I really wanted to do a day trip somewhere outside of London. After reading through numerous blog posts, we settled on Bath. Roaming around the Roman Baths listening to our audio guided tour made for a nice mid morning adventure however, my favorite find was our lunch spot (of course). Located just a short taxi drive from city center, I present to you, The Pantry at The Bath Priory. While we waited for our table to come available, we walked around the property’s gardens and oh my, they were a sight to behold! Everything was in bloom and it set the mood for a lovely lunch on the terrace in the sunshine 😊.

One of my favorite tours we did in Edinburgh was of Holyrood Palace. The palace is the official residence of The Queen in Edinburgh where she carries out engagements yearly. However, it also has connections to other royals such as Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie where you can see their actual chambers and apartments. The Holyrood Abbey and gardens are also not to be missed! The gothic architecture of the building is beautiful and the gardens are so lush and colorful you will want to spend the whole afternoon there. Now let me tell you what I wasn’t expecting...I definitely was not expecting to walk into a room and see The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding outfits on display. I have no idea how I didn’t not know they would be on display here but It was such a delightful surprise! The intricate details of Meghan’s wedding dress are definitely something to see in person. It is stunning. Unfortunately the display ended in October so hopefully the display comes back somewhere sometime soon!

Man, going through these old photos from Edinburgh

Man, going through these old photos from Edinburgh to post is rough. I miss travel so dang much! Sadly, I’m about to call Air France to cancel yet another trip for this year. Back in March we booked Paris for next week since rates were so low and we honestly thought there was no way this would last until August...HA jokes on us. Fingers crossed for next summer!

Welcome to Edinburgh’s very own Diagon Alley! There’s a few streets throughout the UK that are said to have inspired the magical street of shops in the Harry Potter series but I have to say, I think this is my favorite one I’ve seen in person. The colorful buildings, winding cobblestoned road and small unique stores really do make you feel like you’re in the wizarding world.

Next up: Scotland! After one more night in Galway,

Next up: Scotland! After one more night in Galway, we drove back to Dublin (happily dropped that rental car off) and hopped on a quick flight to Edinburgh. We decided on The Raeburn for our 3 night stay in Edinburgh and I’m so glad we did! It’s a small boutique hotel that was originally an 1832 Georgian family home. They only have 10 rooms so make sure you book in advance as I’m sure vacancy is hard to come by. In addition, they also have a bright and trendy restaurant and bar with special cocktails and yummy bites! As if this hotel couldn’t get any better, it’s only a 15 minute walk to the city center which makes this a 10/10 hotel find!

Let’s start from where we left off shall we? After a wonderful lunch at Cullen’s at the Cottage, pay a small fee and take a stroll around the castle grounds and gardens. They’re kept in immaculate shape and it’s a great way to walk off that food baby before the car ride back to Galway!
————————————
Also, did anyone else read the article where two employees maintained the castle by themselves while the hotel was shut down during quarantine?? My favorite tidbit was that they got their exercise by walking around the castle for the daily flushing of all 160 toilets to keep everything in working order 😂.

We knew we wanted to make it to Ashford Castle at

We knew we wanted to make it to Ashford Castle at some point during the trip so when we saw that it was only about a 45 minute drive from Galway, we hopped in the car and made our way over for some lunch! We had our hearts set on eating at one of the restaurants inside the castle but unfortunately those are only available for guests staying on property. Lucky enough, they do have one restaurant open to the public called Cullen’s at the Cottage situated just outside the gates. Guys, this was hands down one of the best meals we had in Ireland! The seafood was so fresh and the ambiance was really cozy and inviting. I definitely recommend making a reservation as it is quite small. Such a great find!

We spent the final two nights of our Ireland road

We spent the final two nights of our Ireland road trip in Galway! After our day at the cliffs and the drive over to Galway, we spent the rest of the day relaxing at the very quirky Twelve Hotel. They have a really cozy bar and really good food! The next day, we set out and wandered around the infamous Quay Street and walked through the beautiful Galway Cathedral.
