Crazy take 2

We are back from Scotland. Yes that is right, two big trips, in one month, with a baby. We are officially nuts. Violet was a trooper again, at least on the flights! As for the time change, it wasn't so easy this time. And the ferry ride was at night so that also wasn't the best. But now we've been home almost a week and things seem pretty normal.
We were in the Orkeney Islands, very far north - 59degrees north! The farthest north we've been. The sun rises around 3 and sets around 11. Bob was presenting at a conference with two other Willamette profs, so I tagged along. We snuck in a day of sight seeing or site seeing of archaeological, stone age ruins - fascinating and incredible sights! I also made it to Highland Park and on the last day Violet met some of our friends!
