Enchanting Edinburgh

Back to my most favorite city I have yet to visit, Edinburgh. If a city was considered the love of my life I have to say this would be it. I have never felt more alive or enchanted by a city.Those first few minutes when you are arriving in the city just amaze me. The beauty, architecture, old city feel, I literally feel transported back in time. While here we visited the castle, traveled various closes, hiked to Arthur's Seat and just took in all the beauty we could over a few days.

Beautiful view on Advocates Close, just a few more steps down to Devil's Advocate a fantastic bar!

We had so much fun exploring the city before we headed to the Scottish Highlands and made friends with the hairy coo!

Gateway to the West: St. Louis

St. Louis is a beautiful place to visit in the fall. There are so many fun historical things to do in and around the city. My favorite place to visit is St. Charles, which is about 35 minutes Northwest of St. Louis. This is like a picture perfect fall town out of a movie. The cobblestone streets lined with cute local businesses and trees changing with the season are just charming. We walked along the street checking out the local shops and tried some of their local wine. I absolutely loved the warm pumpkin wine with whipped cream at Bella Vino. This was just a quintessential fall town and I absolutely fell in love with it! And of course no trip to St. Louis is complete with out a trip to the Gateway Arch!

Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain National Park is beautiful! We drove through Boulder up to Estes Park to enter the park. I loved watching the scenery change from rolling hills to rocky mountain peaks. I truly enjoyed the scenic drive as we climbed in elevation up to around 12,000 feet on Trail Ridge Road. We drove for about an hour or so to Medicine Bow Curve. From there you could see snow still on the mountain peaks in the distance and the temperature dropped from 80 degrees in Boulder to about 39 degrees at our turnaround point. The mountain range was quite a sight and went as far as the eye could see. This was such a great drive, but I wish we had more time to get out and hike. I would have loved to hit the trails and see what we could accomplish on foot. Maybe next time, but until then I will be dreaming of these Rocky Mountains. So excited we made it to RMNP!
