In the last week I have been walking around in a blur of sleep deprivation, reminiscent of the first few weeks of Lucy's life. And its all to do with the massive dose of jet lag that my gorgeous one year old is going through. There is no way I can explain to anyone what its like to go on a 30 hour plane journey with a toddler AND in economy. Unless you have experienced it, you will never be able to picture it, but lets just say it will be a LONG time before I do it again, it will be after a time when the memory of the experience fades drastically.
Now I have to put up with jet lag. The complete time change is bad enough on an adult that understands what is happening but a toddler who was so ingrained in her routine, well lets just say she's looking for breakfast at 2am and is not happy when I don't give it to her!
But its not all bad; we had a great holiday visiting our family and friends in the sunshine. Hubby and I went away to Edinburgh for 3 days on a mini break without Lucy and I must say I loved the city. It was so warm I actually got burned (I Know, hard to believe!) and just wandering through the streets you felt like you could step back in time. We saw the castle, did a ghost tour and of course the dungeon tour for a laugh.
We had a great holiday and made great memories that will last us a life time. Now back to our 'reality' and everyday life, already panning our next holiday.
Here a few photos from the holiday.
