We started our adventure to Scotland out on a Friday night to get a big leg of our driving done the night before. Our first scheduled sight to see was Alnwick Castle so we decided to drive as far north as Newcastle-Upon-Thyne. It was a good 3 3/4 hour drive that we started out with a hearty meal from McDonald's which the kids didn't eat much of. We got to our hotel about 8:30 and got a wonderful reception. The desk gal offered the kids loads of treats, they got these cute little purple backpacks filled with goodies and then each kid got their own bed. Addison's was actually a pull out bed on the floor, but she immediately took to it and nested in.
Not only did the kids get a warm welcome but we also got a complimentary bottle of red wine! This was so crazy...this was our first night's stay and probably the cheapest place we were going to be staying but we got the most "extras." For the next several days our kids would keep referring back to the Purple Moon "no-tel" and Addison kept begging to go back.
