mom I know you 'll have to leave pretty soon, so to all of you FLY CAREFUL! I realize Cole & Scott & Felicia won't see this but I'm sending it out into the Universe as usual. See ya on the 24th.

Chris It's been a while since I have read the blog. Pretty impressive places. I have a few questions, tips and requests on photos. When folks from the UK try to pick a fight: 1. Remember they have less to lose, given their dental challenges. 2. Make fun of their teeth and their general inability to beat the Brits. 3. Take pictures of the Hooligans (and their teeth, if possible) Picture requests: 1. Lets see that picture of Scott's ass. Disregard, sorry must have been the haggis balls talking. 2. You have several pictures of some of the local wildlife; a fox, coyote, steer, etc. How about a picture of a Haggis? 3. Try to get some pictures of the food and the strange women that frequent these crazy Hootenanny pubs. I want to see who that guitar playing-Kenny Rogers character came in with. Update: AL won the allstar game (again) 4-3. Looks like Giants will be playing the Series on the road.

mom Hey, I just want to know if you all poured the "Perfect Pint"???? Sure wish I was there!!! Have a great time and have a Guiness for me .. oh hell, have several!

Paul First, I need to say that the little princess below, stole the laptop from me as I was viewing your latest blog and pics, so she could message you first. Anyway, a diet of scotch, guiness, and haggis balls must be giving you a whole new perspective on life. I never would have thought Devon would be the first out of the two of you too get cussed at in Scotland...or are there stories you havent told yet? Pics you may not be posting? ha ha The descriptions and pics of the trip have been awesome...we are all truly jealous! Even Nate and I miss you... how could we find someone else to help us finish all of our half started projects? ha Say hey to Dev for me!

Amber the Princess of Castle Grant So how did you like my castle? Pretty nice eh? I also wanted to let you know that I told the cook to make you those haggis balls real nice, so your welcome. Reading your blogs is great. It sounds like you are truly enjoying the trip and the culture of Scotland. I wish I was there with you guys and want to let you know that I am very proud of you, my little vagabonds. Be safe, have fun, and continue to blog, it been great being a part of the adventure. I miss you and love you. Amber

Sandy So, was the guy that won ya a couple of pints famous, or was the bar tender just messin' with ya? Either way, I guess it doesn't matter if you got a couple of cold pints out of the deal. Sounds like you're having fun!!

mom I'm back from Kitty sitting. I agree with everyone, great pistures and info. Devin looked so reflective at the Lake and nice picture of Cole & Scott, plus nice job on the flora! Glenmoragnie is Michael's favorite. I think we have to go back 2 more Great grand fathers to have been born In Ireland. But as far as we have gotten Kilkeny is where the Bryan's are from. Becareful driving in Dublin. The streets constantly change names. Have a great time. Love and miss you all.

Mike Hey Adam, Mom is trying to find out which county in Ireland your Great-great-great grandfather was from. If you see Nicole, tell her that Mom shaved Bo and Luke so they wouldn't shed anymore. (ha) Great pictures and blog--Thanks!!

Dad Hi Adam and Devon, What a great trip. You picked two of the best dsitilleries to visit, both make great whiskies. That Lock Ness tour with the castle sounded interesting; mothing like that here in the states. Glad to hear you are going to see Ireland. The people are great and a lot of fun. Will you be with Nicole? Will you still see Edinburg? Keep on sending us info and pictures we are loving it and vacationing right along with you.

Sandy The last batch of photos were especially enjoyable, lots of Scotsmen, kilts, and Whiskey!

mom Great stories and pictures as usual. Couple questions: Does Glinlivet sell a special aged bottle only at the distillery? Like in Ireland. How have your accomodations been? Were those pictures of the Highland Games that you & Devin went to earlier? Sure wish I was there to play too! Love and miss you all bunches.

Mike What I meant to say was, "Does the moon THERE look any different." Oh well, it is so darn late here I can barely think straight. Wish I were there.
