We're definitely going to York.

All right, one London Eye. Check.

Oh, we're hiring a car. Only way to go with two little girls.
We fly to and from London. We thought about two options:
Option one:We drive to Scotland throught York, and stop for anything interesting on the way. 
Then drive back to London throught the west coast. Does this make sense?
Option two: Same as the first, but we'll take a train to scotland, hire a car there and 
drive back in "zigzags". Will that fill 17-20 days? And is there a reasonable route that 
won't cause us to miss on important things?

Oh, and don't sit in front of the computer, typing, for a whole day, but a few pointers will 
win you a serious schnoogle ;).

thanks, yael
