This was the last day of our Scotland adventure, and to be honest, I reallllllly didn’t want to come back to the U.S.
Since we still hadn’t been inside a castle, our goal was to get to Dunstaffnage Castle.

Scotland Series – Day 13
After all the excitement from the previous day, today was pretty laidback and was mostly spent just walking around Oban, eating (duh), and running errands.

Scotland Series – Day 2/3
I think this was technically day 3 since we left the U.S. on Tuesday and arrived in Scotland on Wednesday, so we’ll go with that.

2 Weeks in Scotland with a Carry-On
I think packing is so stressful. Whether it's packing to move, packing for a weekend, or packing for a couple weeks in another country, I'm always guilty of overpacking or packing the wrong things.
