Photo Diary: Edinburgh

We may have gone to Scotland to watch The Open (St. Andrews photo diary here!) but it was so exciting to take a day trip to Edinburgh. I had never been to Scotland, and my inner history nerd (& shopaholic) came out to play. I took a zillion photos, but here are some highlights of our day in Edinburgh!

Barely made it up the hill to see this stunning view...note to self, flats are not appropriate walking shoes.  Barely made it up the hill to see this stunning view…note to self, flats are not appropriate walking shoes.

If you're ever in Edinburgh, you HAVE to go to Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant. So delicious and the decor is unreal. If you’re ever in Edinburgh, you HAVE to go to Jamie Oliver’s Italian restaurant. So delicious and the decor is unreal.
