Airport shenanigans

Having a celebration drink at the airport.
Used our club passes for the first time.
United..."here, take these passes in honor of the gross amount of money you've spent"
Chicago - minus 1

Flight canceled for mom. Ugh.
Trinity City Hotel

We had a Deluxe room with a balcony. They put balloons in mom's room for her birthday. Our rooms were right next to eachother. In Ireland they have the room power set up to work only when they roomOkumaya devam et

As a history lover, this place was amazing. So much to read and learn. I would definitely go back. We also got to here a student choir perform. Man. So spiritual and a lovely memory.

Stopped for a drink. I looked at this restaurant so many times when planning. Ultimately I booked The Church for tomorrow. So we stopped in to get a look since we won't be eating here.

Book of Kells

This stop was well worth it. We had tickets for 9:30. Of course, we were first in line. Even with only 25% of the books left, this library made my heart happy. Walking in you could SMELL the oldOkumaya devam et
Trinity College

Walk through after Book of Kells. Cute college.
Butler Chocolate

Yummy. No pics. But my mouth watered WHILE eating. We each tried 2 pieces. So much different than American chocolate. My favorite was the pink Himalayan salted caramel.
Dublin Castle

We did not get to tour this Castle, it just did not fit into our short Dublin day. Oh well. We got our Heritage cards, which get us into many historical sites for free. Next time we come, we will beOkumaya devam et
The Hairy Lemon

A fun stop for an afternoon snack. We all shared 1 plate of fish & chips. It's a cute, old pub! Fun fact that no alcohol can be served till 12:30pm on Sundays.

St. Patrick's Church

This very, very old church was so beautiful. Originally a Catholic Church, it's now a Protestant Church. And it's still active!
So much history. It really is impressive to me how they built these inOkumaya devam et
St. Stephen's Green

We went on a horse and Carriage ride, we saw the bullet holes on the arch from the Easter Rising. We saw tons of pigeons. And this is a true park. So many trees. A lake. And people actually sit on theOkumaya devam et
Grafton Street

This is a very popular area. But not our favorite. It was a street full of well known retailers.
But we really enjoyed the live street music.

Fun, touristy place off Grafton Street. Cory and I tried to be cute and fun. Bwahaha!
Tapped

Cory found this cute bar off of Grafton Street. We had a drink and some dumplings. Fun stop! It was called the Lost Lane. The bar was called Tapped. And when they say spicy in Ireland....they mean it.
The Church

We went here for dinner. I wanted to walk....but was talked into a cab.
We arrived 30 minutes early, so ordered some drinks and sat outside. I don't know how people eat outside here. There was such aOkumaya devam et

This was such a moving experience. The famine tore family and cultures apart in Ireland. The rich British landlords actually paid to send these families to Canada and America so that the could bringOkumaya devam et
