Last week, when I realized the letter Q was coming for our next date, I thought it would be difficult, but then "I had an apostrophe... Lightning had just struck my brain" (I watched
Hook earlier this week, hence the reference ;)).
We would go where my parents HONEYMOONED many, many, MANY moons ago -
THE QUEEN MARY!!

| Check out that smog... DRINK IT IN! |
Ryan looked online and saw that they were actually having a
Scottish Festival this weekend, which we knew would be perfect! (Yep, McClurg is SCOTTISH... Although sometimes Ryan says it is Irish or whatever suits him best at the time ;)).
 |
| A Scottish knight? |
 |
| Ryan and I waiting for the games to begin |
 |
| Photo Op? YES PLEASE! |
 |
| A Wee Bit of a Lad |
 |
| This was my sour face? |
 |
| And this was my Scottish face? |
We had a great time. We watched the athletics, saw some dancing, walked around the Clans, listened to bag pipers, and even studied sheep herding! Ryan tried talking me into letting him buy a kilt or a sword, but I was somehow able to get us out of there with neither.

| The sports field out in front of the Queen Mary |
 |
| The hammer throw was pretty awesome |
 |
| This guy had LAWN MOWER BLADES bolted into the front of his boots! |
 |
| The announcer |
 |
| Throwing a heavy thing over a stick (that was NOT the technical name for this one ;)) |
 |
| The girls were throwing stones (and you can see the guy with the lawn mower blades on the right hand side) |
 |
| Using pitch forks to throw bags of hay as high as they could |
 |
| Inside the ship, where there were tons of the Clans |
 |
| Wee lassies dancing |
 |
| This pup was 13 years old! |
 |
| By far my favorite part! |
 |
| It's just their instinct to herd! |
 |
| Practicing before going on stage |
It was a super fun date, but hey, if Ry and I are together we always tend to have a great time ;)
