If you’re an #Outlander fan visiting Scotland, this real life Castle from the 1500s is a MUST see! 🏰 Of all the filming locations I went to, this was the most exciting one for me as it truly feels you’ve just jumped back in time into the story! 📚 It really did feel like I was in #Lallybroch (even though yes I know it’s a fictional place 😅)! ⭐️ FOR MORE DETAILS AND PHOTOS GO TO MY BLOG POST- link in bio! ⭐️ This is #MidhopeCastle, part of the #HopetounHouse estate. A few other scenes from the show were filmed throughout the property too, 🎥 so give yourself plenty of time to explore! ⭐️ It is necessary to book tickets in advance, and the sooner the better! 🎟️ You have a timed entry point, so if you want the place to yourself for a few moments you should try for the first slot of the day at 8am. 🚌 By about 10am the tour buses will come in and it will get crowded quickly. The castle is out in the country, about a 45 minute drive from Edinburgh. It’s pretty isolated, and really the only way to get to it is by car. 🚗 If you don’t have a car during your trip, then the only way to get there would be to book an Outlander day trip of some sort with a guide- 🎟️ this spot will be included on every good tour! (I have a few tours linked in my blog post) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ IMPORTANT NOTE - This site is currently closed for filming until March 20, 2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #outlanderstarz #outlanderseries #outlanderfans #discoverscotland #visitscotland #scotland_insta #scotlandlover #scotlandtravel

Baby # 2 coming in August 2023! 👶🏼 Lorenzo is an adorable model, but he really has no idea what's coming for him! 😜 On that note, we want to say thank you 🙏 to everyone who has helped us out so far during what has been a not-so-easy pregnancy. While baby #2 is happy and healthy, it has not been an easy journey... (((Now, for my medical story- Sorry, this is so long!! 😬))) While the silver lining to this story is a sweet new baby on the way, 👶🏼 the beginning of this pregnancy was...well, horrible. I had severe daily nausea for nearly the entire first trimester. After being diagnosed with "hyperemesis gravidarum", I spent 8 weeks essentially bedridden and unable to function due to nonstop nausea (and all that goes with that!) 🤢. I had to go to the ER to get IV fluids and anti-nausea meds 4 times, 💉 as I couldn't even keep water down at one point. Most people gain weight during pregnancy, but within the first month I was down 13 pounds (Don't worry, I'll gain it back quick, 😜). I was prescribed nearly 10 different prescriptions as the doctors tried various things to help me (spoiler: nothing really helped besides the passage of time). I also discovered that most OBGYN practices have no idea as how to best manage and aid patients with H.G. 😞 There are many things that could have been done to help me that were simply not suggested without me constantly researching and self advocating. After week 12 I began to slowly improve, and I am now eating real meals and able to leave the house and function again! 🙌 I'm still not totally back to normal though, and still go to weekly IV hydration sessions at the hospital. It's hard to impart how miserable it is to feel that sick every waking moment, and not being sure when it will end. 😔 H.G. isn't just physical suffering, but it takes a mental toll as well. It also wasn't easy to be that sick and have a toddler at home! Thanks to all who helped us out and especially those who prayed for me! 🙏 Thanks for reading this novel- I am so happy I’m finally getting close to feeling normal again!!🤞 #hyperemisisgravidarum #hgpregnancy

SAVE for your trip to Switzerland 🇨🇭! Possibly one of the most scenic views I’ve ever had in all my travels was here looking at the Swiss Alps (you can see Mt. Titlis and parts of Liechtenstein from here actually!) 🏔️ Such a perfect and beautiful day with my mom and sister 💕 📍Getting there? Take a day trip ferry to #Vitznau from popular #Lucerne, and then ride an alpine cogwheel train 🚂 up to this viewpoint called Rigi Kulm! 🏔️ Pro tip: Visit the town of #Weggis afterwards! #rigikulm #mountrigi #swissalps🇨🇭 #switzerland_destinations #switzerland_pics #switzerland_vacation #budgettravel #travelonabudget #europetravels
