Today we got up and had a great breakfest and headed out to the Falkirk wheel...this is totally amazing its like a lift that carrys boats from the upper part of the loch to the lower and viice versa huge and amazing to see and the only one in the world! It was really great to see we checked out all the displays and waled the gardens...mom fell in love with this black whispy sort plant looked fake so i sat down beside it and pulled a huge clump out and put it in my bag..lol...now its planted inthe back garden rotf!!! then we were off to Calander House which was truely amazing so much history we took the tour and saw so much .The kitchen is all as it was over 100 years ago and we saw everything from pots to wooden molds for baking we sampled a very old lemon tart recipe that thyey made and on weekends the roast an animal so glad we went today ewwww anyways this was so good to see and its on a huge piece of land with a park and a pond with swan padddle boats..lol we went into the tea room for tea and scones and then headed out again i took a ton of pics .We finished off the day with shopping of course we went to Matalan and got me a new sweater coat very nice and very warm. We came home and had dinner and we tried to keep it from tyler that it was halloween but the damn news man said happy halloween to everyone and that blew it...ugh my heart is breaking for him yes as an adult i know this trip is worth so much more but explain that to a 6 year old that loves to trick or treat.:(
day 10
Yesterday we really didn;t do alot we did go into town and shop abit but nothing really to report on.We went to The Enchanted Forest today in Pitlochry.It was a 2 hour drive and when we got there we found our place to park and then locked up the car and headed over oto the bus depot to find out info that was needed .the we walked around the little otwn so quaint and very busy.We stopped in a small bistro and had mince and chips lol mom had fish tea.After that i found a pound store LOL and had to go in it.We also went into alot of little shops then headed over to the depot where they had a little portable area made up to stay warm and have hot chocolate and wait for our tme.At 5 pm i went and signed us in and got our glow sticks for around our necks everyone had to wear one for safety and we boarded the bus a short little drive over to the forest and we started our adventure through space.It was so awesome to see it was pitch black by this time and we were lead into the forest and had to cross over into space ...lots of lights and sounds everywhere.We came to a stop and all went and stood around a massive body of water and waited...with the sounds from star wars and et the lights started and it was a spectacular show of lights and sounds complete with an alien vessel coming out of the water at the end.We continued on the path to see more lights and then stumbled into an alien forest complete with little green men.tyler loved it ! We crossed a bridge and back around the path pto our journeys end and to the coach bus that brought us.This all took about 75 minutes and it was amazing to see .I took a ton of pics.After we got back we headed home made it in about 1 1/2 hours very little traffic and had pizza when we got home.great day for sure!
