Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that blend spontaneity with meaningful plans. Our last minute trip to Glasgow from Edinburgh was well worth it to compare the cities and connect to family origins.

Today was the kind of day that feels like it belongs in a storybook, complete with towering mountains, deep mysterious waters, and even a glimpse of Nessie herself.

A Night Out in Soho: Art, Tacos & MJ The Musical

We had to stop in at Abbey Road Studios yesterday- famous for its connection to The Beatles and so many others. It was cool to see the iconic zebra crossing in person. A few people were trying to snap their own version of the Abbey Road album cover, but the traffic was horrendous. We did manage to snap one inbetween cars  

We rode on a big red double decker bus down to Harrods. We were amazed at the number of staff sevicing the customers. We strolled through the Salon de Perfume and sampled a few. We grabbed a rather disappointing but expensive burger at Gordon Ramsey's and admired the beautiful ceilings and staircases throughout this impressive building. (The best thing about our lunch was the in-house ketchup. I'll give them an A+ for that)
