Mother-Daughter Trip to Glasgow...

After researching summer camps, Veronica discovered that Outward Bound, which Jimmy attended in North Carolina during college, ran an adventure camp in the Highlands of Scotland. Originally, she was going to fly over by herself and take a bus to the camp, but then a friend mentioned that it would be a lovely train ride from Glasgow and I decided to accompany her. We spent two nights in Glasgow right in the heart of the shopping district. After our first day of shopping and an evening at the cinema, we spent the second day sightseeing. We stopped at Glasgow University to check out the Environmental Science Department, which was very underwhelming.

Veronica was happy to find a Tardis (the time machine from the BBC show Dr. Who); this version serves as an ice cream shop.

We visited the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which was in a great purpose-built building from 1901 that houses an impressive collection owned by the public; it is the most visited museum in the UK outside of London. We also visited the Gallery of Modern Art, shown with its statue of the Duke of Wellington that continuously wears an orange traffic cone.
