a great week
It's been really nice to have mom and dad over here for the past week. We've been very active.
We had the opportunity to get out to Rosslyn Chapel, notorious for it's connection with the knights templar in the Davinci Code.
Beyond that, it's an incredible structure: built in the 14th century by a wealthy family that took 40 years to do the stone-work inside the chapel.
Thanksgiving was a great day: the ladies slaved away in the kitchen and made an amazing meal. Tony and Yvonne joined us in the evening for a nice meal. Tony didn't understand the concept of marshmallows and sweet potatoes and we made him dress up like a pilgrim (I wish, we talked about it though)
We then made our way to the gardens overlooking the castle where the annual german village and displaying the christmas lights throughout the city was held.
It was great, all sorts of tiny venues that had german chocolates and crafts for sale, as well as ice skating, a massive ferris wheel and plenty of games for kids and adults. The weather was cold and rainy, but it was still a great time.
We hiked the mountain that overlooked the city today following our gathering this morning (I'll write about this and show a video shortly), and had a great time.
Here were a few shots I grabbed.
