Welcome back to my favorite day of the week!

Pre-scheduling posts is a pretty great thing.

You see, I'm in Kansas as you're reading this,

and probably still on the highest high after seeing Paul McCartney on Wednesday.

Have I mentioned on here how much I like that guy?

So because of this amazing week filled with amazing Beatle music and an amazing Beatle himself,

today's all about one of his greatest, most well-known songs

that is also one of the greatest sing-a-longs in the world.

Naaaaa na na na an na na....

Yup. That's the one.

FUN FACTS:

- The songs was written for John's first-born son, Julian, as he went through the split of his parents.  The original lyrics were 'Hey Jules'.

- While John knew this, he still always had a thought that Paul might have written it for him.

- If you listen closely in the final verse, right at 'remember, to let her into your heart' somebody messes something up and you can hear one of the two saying 'fucking hell' in the middle of the song.

There were plenty of takes throughout the day to make the promo video for the song. I love this video because it shows a side-by-side of the video, and the outtakes

After our backpacking adventures during our month long 'spring break',

we had a weekend group trip to Scotland.

We were so exhausted from three weeks through Europe, that we were not looking forward to the visit at all.

I know. What kind of snobbish travel gods did we think we were? 'ughhh, Scotland. I'm like, SO tired from prancing through Europe already, but I guess we'll go...'

Anyways, like you've probably predicted, it was an amazing trip.

One of my favorites.

You can read more about what we did in this old ramble of a post here.

There are few moments when you really get that time to sit down and think about who you are,

and reflect on your life a bit.

But put me on top of the highest mountains and place me in front of an incredible view,

and you got it.

The Highlands in Scotland have some of the most amazing views I'll ever be able to see in my life.

They've got some incredible history as well.

I was able to look at some of the oldest mountains in the world and the newest mountains in the world,

right in the same view,

I was also able to stick my face in a pool of water that was supposed to give me eternal youth.

I'm still wondering why I'm getting older...

I like take pride in my amateur photography skills from this trip too.

Some may say it was the incredible views, but I say it's my natural-born camera skills...

1) Time,
because I'm coming up on ONE MONTH until I move to London,
and I've only been looking forward to this day for, oh, well, the past two years.
IT'S FINALLY COMING UP.

2) Total Blog Move, from Helene In Between.

It's all way too relatable, and just a little bit embarrassing,

but you know you all do it, so whatever. #TBM

3) Everyone Says I'm Running Away, from Nomadic Matt.

This was quite possibly the first travel blog I ever stumbled on, years ago.  And I was hooked.

This article is everything I've felt since I had the opportunity to see more of the world.

I don't want to be normal - I want to find what's different, and I want to experience it.

4) Thoughts From Abroad, from Sara at Bristol In My Pocket.

It's my favorite series, and I totally want to copy her when I finally get to London.

AND she's just added a new travel guide page to her site, which I know I'm going to love.

5) Travel Moments that's actually written by Marielle, but on one of my favorites, Rhyme & Ribbons,
because she hiked a mountain in China that looks terrifying and incredible,
and because I want to ride a camel - but preferably one that's not trying to dine on my leg though..
