Extra Days in Glasgow

Here are a couple of shots from our last couple of days.  We have grown quite fond of the city.  Home tomorrow.


New Transportation Museum right on the riverside walk along the Clyde from our hotel which is also on the Clyde River (our room overlooks the construction behind the hotel).


Part of today's walk to the Botanic Gardens along the Kelvin River Walkway.

Final day of vacation

Tui, Nathan, and I left mom and dad in Edinbourgh this morning and took the train to London. We have a great hotel room next to the Eye. We had enough time this afternoon to walk around the city and see several of the sites beofre we leave early tomorrow morning.

Lucky I covered my red shirt

U OF A


Hi everyone! I am finally settled into my new apartment! These past few days have been crazy but I love my roommates, the hall, and overall feel of the school. This week is rush week so I am out of the apartment by 7am and don't get back till 6pm.

Here are some pictures of the apartment...










Its still in the process of getting decorated but we all love it so far. Hope everyone is doing good.
Have fun in Scotland!

Treehouse in the Cedar Tree!





The boys and I (with some help from Bob and friends) have put this magnificent platform in our cedar tree! Amazing what you can do with a book and a cordless drill.... We still need railings, and a small shed on one side, but I have declared today a holiday, and we're going to Susie Blue's for a swim.


More photos to follow once we're done.


Tim, Melissa and the twins come in this week. That will be fun.

Catch of the day







Last week Nathan and I caught a 20+ pound shovel nose shark. After 45 minutes of wrestling it through the surf, Nathan was able to grab its tail and bring it to shore. We let it go after the picture.











Today, Kong, Kaydee, Kayla, Nathan and I went fishing at Del Mar. We caught Perch, Corbina, and Croaker. We ate all of these tonight.
