Wanderlust...

If it is going to be cold outside...why couldn't I be here?

I have a dream to go to Scotland. I would really like to be somewhere warm, but in Scotland I imagine it to be quiet, with lots of pleasant people taking their time getting everywhere.

I could eat lots of "chips" (french fries), and not feel like I should be eating healthy, ahve you ever seen a vegetable in "Braveheart"?

None of the castles or guest houses have gyms. My work out would be a hike through the Highlands with my husband. We'd eat shortbread and play with the dogs of our kind "Laird". I might even try fly fishing for fun.

On one of our hikes we would come across a lone Stag, and lots of other beautiful wildlife. Chris and I would get lost in a castle, and have to spend the night. the fireplaces would be 8 ft tall and just as wide.

While others might read "Macbeth", I would read "The Highland Novels" which the BBC show, Monarch of the Glen,(one of my favorites) was based.

We'd watch the Northern Lights and have lots of crab. I spend days finding kilts for my kids and the perfect sweater for me. I may even develop an ear for bagpipes.

The best thing about Scotland may be that no where am I expected to be seen in a swim suit!
