I wish I was regaling you all with tales of our African adventures! The plan was to travel to Tanzania for the month of April. But alas, coronavirus had other plans! Our trip to Africa is postposed but that doesn't mean we can't have adventures! We have many summer days ahead and we decided to …

The Fun Side or the Safe Side?
After a not-so-restful night of sleep (Samantha is a kicker and the road noise didn’t go away) we packed up our flat again. By this point we (Liz) have gotten pretty good at consolidating all our stuff into a few small bags. The day was overcast and cold – like so cold that even I, …
Off to Ireland
Our time in Scotland had come to an end, and to catch our flight out of Glasgow we had to get moving early! The crew, very reluctantly, rolled out of bed and made their way to the van for the one hour drive to the Glasgow airport. We dropped the car off at the rental …
A Castle, A Cold Beach, and Kickboxing!
The next morning everyone except Katie decided to walk to the bakery around the corner. We enjoyed some Scottish pastries – the kids passed on sausage rolls and opted for donuts! We took the long route back to our apartment and found a castle in the process! Erik ran back to the apartment to fetch …
Cairneyhill Gala
The Lillas were on the move again today, so after deftly packing our stuff back into the van, we made the short drive to Aberdour. On the way we got to cross the River Forth via the Queensferry Crossing (a bridge not a ferry), and before long we were hunting down our Airbnb. Some Airbnb’s …
The Falkirk Wheel and Stirling Castle
After doing some research we found an interesting site not far from Glasgow called the “Falkirk Wheel.” This is the only one of its kind in the world and that is enough for Team Lilla to seek it out! We set off for the wheel early (well early for the Lillas) and arrived just as …
Hello Scotland
After a very short flight we found ourselves in the third country of our trip – Scotland! We quickly collected our bags and headed to the rental car counter to see what they had in store for us this time. As an aside, it seemed to all of that every time I got kind of …
Divide and Conquer! (Techniquest and the Royal Mint)
While in London Erik had read about taking a tour of the Royal Mint. He was trying to decided between a visit to the Bank of England or the mint when we discovered the Royal Mint was not longer in London but was housed in Wales. Great! Now he could do both! As you already …

So Long England, Hello Wales!
Our hosts, Warren and Ali, didn’t have any bookings after us, so they offered to let us hang out in the house as long as we wanted. This made for a relaxed morning where Liz and I once again collected all our possessions and neatly packed them into the few bags we’ve got. These kids …
The Town of Cheddar
The plan today was to explore the town of Cheddar, which, as the name implies, is the origin of the well known cheddar cheese. After a quick breakfast at the Old Post Office, we loaded up the big van and were on our way! As we struggled to figure out the directions, we went on …
