That sign says....

We were walking around the West End of Glasgow on Monday late monring to see the flat where Daddy grew up.

Daddy's was on the top floor.

This is Grampa's house.

As we were leaving Wilton street and walking back down the hill I pointed to the little corner store David used to frequent as a kid for his treats and explained to Ellie that was where Daddy used to buy his ice cream a lot. She didn't really see what I was pointing to, so I drew her attention to a read sign outside. She then caught on and said, "Maybe I could buy some ice cream from there sometime too."

I said, "Go tell Daddy what you'd like to do."

She turns around, runs back up the hill to David and says, "Daddy, that red sign says 'Buy Ice Cream Here Now!'"

Even that cute, David didn't take her in for ice cream.... we kept the tour moving.

Next we went to see where Grampa lives when he's not traveling abroad - which has been everywhere Ellie's seen him. I like Bob's place and the big window out front. We took some photos there.

We were then off to walk by the river and see the mill. David tracked through some of his favorite places to play. Ellie enjoyed playing and lots of running. Max did good in the stoller with a stop on a swing.

When we were walking down there I explained to Ellie this is where Daddy used to play. I then asked, "What do you think Daddy used to do with Uncle Dolan down here when they played?" Ellie looked around and responded, "Smell the pretty flowers." Everyone got a kick out of this.

As we were driving to the West End, we passed a Subway sandwich shop. Ellie says, "Mommy, I want a cheese sandwich with peppers, pickles and tomatoes from Subway for lunch. So, for lunch, we walked to find a Subway. When we found one Ellie announced "Hummmmmm, I smell Subway!" She enjoyed her sandwich - the entire 6 inch double cheese sub.

After lunch we went to Kelvin Grove Park where Daddy used to play. Ellie wanted to try to super big cool slide near the skate park. It wasn't easy getting up.

We proceeded to the kiddie park, which has changed completely since Daddy was little, but we had a little fun anyway. Max slept.

The west end is nice and it's good for the kids to see where David grew up. Hopefully during the next trip they will understand it a bit btter.
