"Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope." ~Bill Cosby

Road Trip #2...
found us on a train heading south where we spent two nights in Stirling as our hub for galavanting nearby.
With Edinburgh less than an hour away...
we were able to tour the city(more on that later)
 and enjoy...
a tearific few hours at Prestonfield...
where the group was welcomed by kilt wearing 'security' who announced our arrival through a covert earpiece.

Our balcony table overlooking the imaculate grounds was serenaded by one of the local peacocks that must have been part of the security detail...
lurking in a nearby tree.

Don't get me wrong...
the sweets and savories served with the tea and coffee were delicious...
but the whimsical design of this hotel is why I will return.
Because every toilet stall deserves its own chandelier...
and that chair...
tailor-made for a dramatic fainting spell.


Pappaw was the perfect example of fatherhood as described by Bill Cosby...
doing a fine job of pretending to enjoy being dragged into the whole High Tea experience...
even sipping his tea 'pinky out'.
You're the best, dad!!!

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there.
Hope you all get your favorite meal served on a silver platter.
Sloppy Joe's for Ren Man!

Have a wonderful weekend!
