Scotland
Day One
We arrive at the Edinburgh airport after about 13 hours of traveling. We were ready for sleep, but didn't want to waste the daylight and attempts to get used to the time change. We checked into the Ramsey Bed and Breakfast before we went in search of some pub food and a pint of Cask Ale. Next we headed for the Edinburgh Castle. We had a great time checking out the sites and listening to the history on the audio guides, however, it became increasingly difficult to stay awake the longer they were there.
After a great night's sleep we headed to the Holyrood Palace where we got yet another great audio tour. It was a great tour, but i got in trouble taking a picture of the thrones. In my defense, I didn't see any signs.
Next we checked out the ruins on Calton Hill, a short walk from the city centre.After another yummy lunch and cold beer, we spent the next couple hours at the Scotland National Gallery. Later that night we drove (or Jesse drove while I attempted to navigate) on the left side of the road on our way to the Hoscote House near a town called Hawick at the Borders.
Day Three
Our first day at the house! This place has nine bedrooms in addition to a study, drawing room, conservatory, solarium, dining room, dining kitchen, etc. It made me want to play clue. We checked out the town of Hawick and took a hike around the house.
Day Four
Day Six

New Years in Tahoe
Jesse, Andrea, Ben, and I just got back from a great trip to Tahoe! It snowed from the moment we got there on Friday night until about noon on Sunday. The cabin was great and very cozy. When we were not at Alpine meadows, we were in the cabin, or in the hot tub! I have to say that those lessons last year really paid off, because something stuck when I attempted to snowboard this weekend. I made my first goal by the end of the first day which was to go all the way down the bunny slope (not breaking the whole time) without stopping or falling. The next day I tried a blue slope.......but I was using my breaks almost the whole time......better luck next time! Well the bottom line is that I left not sucking as bad as last year, and that's all I could hope for! This was a great New Years, and I am looking forward to planning the next trip!
If you want to see what the cabin looks like, here is a link that was sent to us before we got there. http://cruznow.com/content/alpineslideshow.html Cozy, huh?

This other painting is also acrylics and on canvas, however it is obviously a work in progress. I will post the finished project when it is done. It is supposed to be a rose...hmmm...we will see!
