Father's Day in Edinburgh

We had a very casual Father's Day celebration this year.  Tim was fortunate enough to receive Starbucks "in bed" and after a casual stroll through the Royal Botanical Gardens, he spent some quality time with his mates John and Andy at a fabulous pub called The Hanging Bat in Edinburgh.  It was extra special for both of us because Alicia, Alex, and Abi took our children to a restaurant called Nando's while the adults had some time to themselves.  Caleb, Emily, and Maddie truly enjoyed hanging with these guys and it was a treat to watch them having so much fun with the big kids.  All in all, a pleasurable day until around 10pm when it was time for bed.  We are still struggling with bedtime,  adults included.  It seems for Emily and Maddie bedtime is when the desire for home really kicks in and there are quite a few tears shed during this time of day.  For the rest of us, it just seems we can't get to sleep.  Jet lag or incredibly uncomfortable beds?  Whatever the reason, it sure would be nice for it to change soon!
