Tuesday

We were going to go to Stirling today, but the weather was supposed to be very rainy, so there was a change of plans and we went to Glasgow today. John had a lunch appointment, so he drove us to Glasgow and dropped us off at the Transportation Museum with directions for other options to do before he picked us up in the afternoon. The Transportation Museum was full of different modes of transportation from the past. There were cars, trains, motorcycles, bicycles, boat models, strollers, etc.

After that, we walked to the Art Museum, which is a gorgeous building. It was huge and had something for most any interest. There were lots of hands-on activities for the girls, and we were all enthralled throughout. We could have spent an entire day there, but we moved through fairly quickly in parts so that we could see it all.

After that, we headed to Glasgow University…again beautiful buildings. Inside was another wonderful museum, and the top floor was full of hands-on activities. John got back while we were in there, so he then took us to the Botanical Gardens he used to take his children to when they were young. It was massive. I went in what I thought was a small building while they were getting ice cream, but it ended up being gigantic and went on and one in multiple directions and took you through flowers and plants from all around the world. It was really neat…I was thinking of some of my friends who love growing flowers such much and wished you could be there to see them.

The girls were really tired at this point, so we saw a few more sights by car and I jumped out at the Town Centre to snap some photographs.

We were going to have homemade pizza, but we got back so late, we made them with flour tortillas instead of crust…they were really good! A new recipe to take home!
