Scotland
Our trip to Scotland was a very special one for me (Erin). Having spent a year there for my graduate school, I have a strong love for its culture and people and it remains one of the most influential and important years of my life. Showing AJ the country I love was very special to me, and after a week on the road seeing some of its beauty, I think he fell in love with it too.

We were quite literally living in ruins dating back to the 4th century.
