Last Wednesday I travelled up to Glasgow to see my boyfriend for a little break and his birthday. We went to Edinburgh on Friday for the night and went out for dinner at a little Mexican on Rose Street called Miros Cantina which was amazing! We had frozen margaritas and a little Mexican feast - it was seriously delicious, everyone should check this place out! We were able to sit outside which was so nice, just the right temperature and very peaceful. 

After dinner we had a little wander around Edinburgh, I got my photo taken with the Olympic rings on the hill! I love Edinburgh, it's such a pretty place. 

We spent the next day in Edinburgh, having a shop. I bought Jordan some birthday cupcakes from Bibis on Hanover St - the flavours there are chocolate caramel, blueberry, banoffee, Oreo, chocolate cheesecake and red velvet. They were actually amazing! A nice change from a typical birthday cake (although there was one of them too!).

For Jordans birthday on Sunday we got up and had champagne, bacon butties and chocolate fondue (with strawberries and marshmallows) for breakfast - Jordan turned 25 so we had an excuse to celebrate! We then had more cake and champagne for lunch and I took him out for a boozy lunch in the West End which was incredible! The food and wine was so so good. 

I planned a little surprise for Jordans birthday with all his friends at night which was awesome fun. Going out in Glasgow is great fun, we went to Driftwood and Bamboo on this particular occasion as it was a Sunday but the music was good and everyone we love was out with us.

Yesterday was spent being hungover, we went to Cafe Andaluz near George Square for tapas which were incredible! One of the best tapas restaurants I have been to - there's one in Edinburgh too.

That night we made homemade nachos with chili and fried chorizo, one of the best dishes I've made! We completely devoured it. 

I'm really pleased that we tried a few new restaurants this time rather than frequenting the usual haunts. I had an amazing time and it was great to have a break with my boyfriend and spoil him on his birthday.
