Day 2

Here's Zara in a spaceship ride at the Museum of Transport, which was our first museum adventure. She liked it pretty well, though we were all surprised by the lacking of "touching things" - many of the larger vehicles were roped off, and you couldn't really climb on anything. Very disappointing for toddlers looking to climb. On the plus side it's a super cool museum with all kinds of transportation related things -trains, buses, bikes, motorcycles, cars, emergency vehicles, traveler caravans, tons of model ships that go with the history of boat building on the Clyde, baby buggies... you name it! There is also a reproduction 1938 Glasgow Street, complete with Underground station. Also cool. Good for kids, big and small.

We walked around the West End, by U of Glasgow and back through Kelvingrove Park. Zara and I are standing (thanks for the carrier, Heather!) on a bridge over the River Kelvin.

We found 2 playgrounds in this park, and spent considerable time at the 2nd one, featured in the following swing pictures. Just to be clear, Laura, Zara is only standing on the swings due to the bad influence of the wee lass next to her ;)

After naps we played with play-doh in the hotel room while Wes worked on his talk, and then went to dinner at the Firebird Cafe. Bedtime was awful, but as expected when you are 3,000 miles and 5 time zones away from home in a small but comfortable Scottish guest house...
