Kenia in the Middle

Navigating the world & life as a middle sister!

Scotland

****WARNING THIS POST HAS LOTS OF PICTURES!****

Hello! So, in Scotland we went to so many places and by places I mean castles. The first castle was Sterling castle it was so big and had amazing views. There was a little tunnel underground that was really small but so risky and fun. Second, the St. Andrews castle, which was 10 minutes away from where we were staying (at the Fairmount)! When we were at St. Andrews we visited the golf course and played two rounds on the Old Course (kids course).  It was pretty hard for me, because I’m not the one who golfs…thats Carmen.  On the first round I did really bad, I got a 22 while the rest of my family got in the teens.  My dad got to live his life long dream of playing on the St. Andrews golf course.  He had to get up at 5 am to just get a tee time…thats crazy!  Since he got to do that, he was so happy the rest of the trip!  My sisters and I did a lot of shopping, fought a little, and swam in the indoor pool!  One person who worked there was very strict, but I  kinda get it it mostly a hotel for adults. he still should know that rules will be broken if there are kids staying. He wouldn’t let me do anything! I couldn’t go in the hot tub, the exercise room, the steam room, and the sauna! I was so mad I wanted to yell at him, I mean dude I’m just a kid, cut me some slack. But, other than that I had a great time!

Hope you keep reading!
