Went on a weekend holiday – Beautiful castle

Got back today from a nice weekend vacation with the family. We went to the beautiful Airth Castle!

We had planned this trip for some time and I believe the whole family was somewhat overwhelmed with what we experienced there. I have seen many castles but this felt very exiting as it was the first time we went all together.

We started the day by visiting the SPA and we decided to take massage and sauna. I love the sauna! It feels like you are punishing your body but in a good healthy way. The first evening ended with a really tasteful 3-course dinner. We crashed in bed around midnight and I felt the excitement for the following days adventures..

The next day we went up early for a healthy breakfast (no bacon and sausages!) and a stroll in the area. I enjoy those relaxing walks when you feel as one with nature. You just observe and you don’t interfere with anything.

We continued the “Family Get Together Holiday Breaks” with some more SPA and a lunch consisting nothing else but fruits and berries… Did I mention that I LOVE strawberries?

We all relaxed and enjoyed the facilities and waiting for the evening to come. We had signed up for a “Murder Mystery” and I must say it was very amusing. The kids loved it and I guess Cindy (my wife) was the only one who felt uncomfortable with the layup of us solving a murder we supposedly had witnessed… If you have the chance to do something like this, then take it! I really recommend it.

When the case was solved, we all (the group who was participating) went to a local tavern to eat and drink ;)

Last day, Sunday, was just checking out, eating and then heading home.  We all enjoyed our weekend together and we will surely do more things like this very soon!

    I love the picture too. I went in Scotland for holidays too and it was great to hear about all these ghosts stories. There’s really a special atmosphere in this country!
