The sun was shining bright, the skies were clear, and we couldn’t have picked a better spot than Balloch Country Park for a little family escape.
We started with a gentle walk through the park, soaking in the fresh air and stunning views over Loch Lomond.
We spent a lovely little hour at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum—just enough time for a quick wander through some of our favourite exhibits and a quiet moment or two soaking in the beauty of the space.
Afterward, we headed over to Dockyard Social for a laid-back afternoon of street food and waffles with friends. Great company in the form of Alex, Petya, Alex’s brother, and his family made it even better. Good chats, good eats, and a really good vibe all around.

It also brought back some sweet childhood memories – the beach, the sound of the waves, and that nostalgic feeling of simplicity. Definitely a perfect spot for a bit of R&R. #childhoodmemories
