We had the privilege of teaching a Strong Bonds event for the soldiers in hubby's brigade at the breathtaking Glen Eyrie castle. This castle is rich both aesthetically and historically. The kids relished the thought of being at an actual castle! The grounds were so serene and the weather was gorgeous. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back. The Navigators have so much to offer at Glen Eyrie and we recommend this spot to anyone visiting or living in the area.
