For our next home base in Scotland, we picked Dundee, a large city about an hour and a half train ride north of Edinburgh. We used this as a home base for visiting St. Andrews and the small town of Abernethy, where our last name (Abernathy) originated. For as long as I’ve known Daniel, he has talked about going… continue reading
Scenes From the Week, Volume 36
After nearly four months of constant travel, I am happy to say we are home in Austin! I have loved every minute of our travels (starting with our Christmas markets trip to Austria and Germany at the end of November and then traveling around more of Western Europe for 2.5 months after spending Christmas with… continue reading
Currently: March 2016
I’ve been away from the Currently link-up for a while now, and so much has changed since then! I’ve decided to join in this month to break up the monotony of travel posts going up on this blog and because I miss the community that this link-up brings. My husband and I are just about to… continue reading
Travel With Me // Adventure in the Scottish Highlands
The Scottish Highlands…. Where do I start? This region of the UK was as breathtaking as I ever imagined it would be and more. The mountains create scenic backdrops that make you feel like you are driving through a watercolor panorama painting rather than a real landscape. The scenery seems untouched, and as you drive further… continue reading
Travel With Me // Edinburgh
Edinburgh was one of the cities I was most looking forward to visiting during our big European adventure. Before visiting, I dreamed of regal castles full of history, charming buildings holding enchanting stories, and romantic streets filled with bagpipe music. That is why I made sure to book one of our longest stays of the whole trip… continue reading
Travel With Me // Winter in England’s Lake District
England’s Lake District is dreamy. It is like nothing I ever expected. Even in winter when it is supposed to be the least scenic, my jaw was dropping as our tour van wound through the gorgeous green mountains dotted with sheep and charming English villages. We still want to go back in the future when the… continue reading
Travel With Me // 24 Hours in York
For our next stop on our big adventure, we needed to choose a city to split up the journey between Watford (where we stayed to do the Harry Potter tour at Warner Bros. Studios) and England’s Lake District. We were totally overwhelmed with the number of options, but we ended up picking York because it sounded… continue reading
Travel With Me // Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter Tour
After staying in Bristol and taking day trips to Bath and Oxford, we headed back to London to catch a train to Watford, a small town that many probably haven’t heard of before. Why did we book a night in an unknown town? Because it is next to Leavesden, the town famous for being home to the The… continue reading
Travel With Me // A Day in Oxford
For our day trip to Oxford, we traveled in by train from Bristol just as we did for our day trip to Bath the day before. The train journey to Oxford was much longer than to Bath (about an hour and a half), but it was still very convenient and worth the savings in hotel prices…. continue reading
Travel With Me // Bath
After leaving London for the second stop on our big adventure, we took the train to Bristol which was our home base for the next three nights. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Bristol City Centre right next to the Bristol Temple Meads train station. It was the perfect location as we took a… continue reading
