From London one weekend to Scotland the next...We have traveled up and down the country and We have seen the M6 from jct 1 to jct 44 in both directions! (I can take that off my to-do list!) Our destination in Scotland was the beautiful Loch Lomond to witness the wedding of two dear friends. And as Scotland is a good 6 hours from here (thanks to Google maps directions) we decided to stretch out the journey stopping at Lancaster on the trip there and Kendal on the way back.
As Morecambe Bay was close to Lancaster we headed there to eat our sandwiches on the seaside. It was a little bit windy..ok it was a LOT windy and cold, but it was still fantastic to be by the sea looking over to the Lake District mountains in the distance.
Thanks to a huge mountain silhouette we could just about figure out the names of the peaks...that and have a great time playing hide and go seek!

So what else is there to see in Morecambe Bay...well if you are an Antique enthusiast there is a Huge Antique market and for the book enthusiast there is the most amazing book store! Think Harry Potter and book store and you have The Old Pier Book Store. Every surface had books and there were rooms upon rooms of books. Books over doors, books piles in corners...heck even the fellow at the cash was surrounded by books. I have never seen anything like it in my life and I could have spent hours perusing the books...but alas I had the DD2 with me and just as I was selecting a 1956 copy of a Good Housekeeping cook book I heard those ever familiar words..."Mommy, I need the toilet!"
Here's a picture of the shop...
So armed with reading material we headed up the rest of the M6, Through the Lake District (see next picture) up the M74, through Glasgow (thanks TomTom!) and finally to Luss and Loch Lomond.
Luss and Loch Lomond are so beautiful...just look at these pictures...
