The Secret to Happiness

Okay, here is the recipe:
    Start off your day at a battlefield. Okay, maybe it doesn’t have to exactly be a battlefield but something epic, historic and a little frightening. But if you do decide to go to a battlefield make it Culloden. With your friends, pick different sides of the battle and do a reenactment. Prance through the fields and enjoy the view of Scotland. Now, make sure to take fun pictures of random things on the way to a mountain. Yup, a mountain. Specifically Caringorm Mountain. Just because it is kinda great. Next, climb and hike up the mountain. Make sure you enjoy the view on the way up. Take too many pictures of the same view, just because you can and it is beautiful. Scotland is breathtaking with wild beauty. Soak it all in. It is so untouched and mysterious.
    After taking your time on the mountain (which to remind you, is in the middle of nowhere, in Scotland) get some white hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream. Make sure it is in a cute little town and you are surrounded by your friends. Make your way to a farm now. Watch a demonstration of sheep dog training. This is a really impressive part of the day. The dogs and shepherd are incredible. Sit in awe while you watch the shepherd calls the dogs to go right, left, and around again with different whistles. Proceed this show by petting and feeding baby lambs. You may even get the chance to pick up a puppy or two. End your day by eating warm soup outside with your friends.
   But really, today was a great great day. Scotland is gorgeous. Simple as that. The hike we went on was spectacular. The pictures do no justice. We were surrounded by nothing but nature and the sounds of a quite stream. You could see everything around you for miles. Also, how can you be sad when holding a puppy? Or feeding a baby lamb at that! Such a perfect Scottish day.
