Karen, Finlay and I went up to Scotland for a long weekend and got back earlier today. The main reason for going to was to introduce him to his to Great Grannies and the rest of the family. We had a great weekend with glorious weather and the wee man met almost all of his relatives from my side of the family.
We flew up on the Thursday and he was as good as gold on the flight; there were four other babies on the flight and he was the only one who didn't cry at some point. It was a similar story on the way back, he was really, really good, even though the weather meant his poor wee ears were taking a battering.
While we were up in Scotland we managed to pop round for an evening with friends, who kindly loaned us a buggy and car seat for our stay. Other than that excursion we had a quiet stay, which gave his doting Grandma and Papa plenty of time with him.
The big family gathering was on the Sunday afternoon and everyone was there apart from a couple of cousins who live too far away. After being passed round various family members the wee man was a bit on the tired side and Karen had a right job calming him down enough so that he'd go to sleep that evening.
All in all it was a great trip and hopefully we'll be going back at the turn of the year for another visit.
