Grosse-Ile, Michigan

Our main reason for visiting Detroit was to spend time with our good friend Will.  Graham and Will met each other in 2006-7 when they were both studying at Edinburgh Uni.  In December 2007 Will was in our wedding and we have not managed to see each other since then.  

12 Surprises in the USA

In my first post on this blog I made a few promises about what readers could expect to find.  One of them was gross generalisations.  I am nothing if not one who tries to follow through on a promise so without further ado, here are some of my thoughts on spending a month in the USA.

Georgetown + Mount Vernon + Alexandria

So this post is a throwback from our time in DC.  As you saw the DC Digs post and the Monuments post, DC is a very impressive city full of grand buildings and impressive structures.  We loved those but we also enjoyed visiting a few places that were quite different from those but in retrospect very similar to each other.  

Home!

Hello everyone!


We have finally completed our epic summer trips, arriving home to lovely Edinburgh yesterday morning after two uneventful flights (and a few hours in NYC!).  


We are now reveling in the feeling of being in our own house and enjoying the wonderful company of our friends Chris and Skye Walks who are visiting for a few days.  


I still have a few posts to write about our time in America and then I'll need to decide what becomes of this blog after that!  


For now, I'll leave you with this pic of one of our favourite Ohio memories.  
Sun + ice cream = awesome.

Ball game!  

A visit from Jason!

The day after we arrived in Hudson, we went back to the airport to pick up our friend Jason!  We were both so excited to see Jason and to explore the area with him.  G and Jason are both city lovers so they spent a lot of time (and I mean a lot) debating about different aspects of the cities we visited and taking waaaaay too many photos of buildings they liked.  Hilarious.
