One year ago, exactly, Mike and I started our adventure to Ireland. We started out in the morning and drove to Washington D.C. where we meet my dad so he could take us to the airport and then subsequently store our car during our trip. We boarded the plane that evening and spent the whole night flying over the Atlantic. To remember our AWESOME trip I have collected a few pictures to share. One from each day to be exact. 🙂 Whew! That was harder than I thought it would be! I wanted to include every picture. 🙂

One year later….almost!
I can’t believe that it has almost been a year since we traveled to Ireland! We have so many good memories of that trip and still bring them up like they just happened last week. We also had a TON of great pictures. I, unfortunately, never got around to making some sort of electronic scrapbook but last night I finally finished the actual scrapbook! You will have to come visit me (hint, hint!) to see all the pages but here is a sneak peak of the cover. I am so glad I got it done before the year mark came …
Back in NC
So we are back from our international travels and pretty much back into the swing of things. We (when I say we I mean Emily!) have begun the process of sorting through the pictures and organizing them. At the moment, I am organizing them and uploading them all (all 1100!!!) to our Picasa Web Albums. Therefore, if you have a desire to look at every single one you may do so. The web link for that is: http://picasaweb.google.com/emcamp. In the meantime, I am going to try and get them in a “prettier” format for all to enjoy. This will be …
Going home tomorrow….
So the trip that we have been planning for 8 months has come to an end. We are back in Dublin tonight and we fly out tomorrow. It was a wonderful trip! We had some very unique weather for Ireland during our entire trip – no rain! The whole time was beautiful and we really got to enjoy the country. And we survived the Irish roads! Well, we still have to drive to the airport tomorrow – hopefully that will be uneventful. Once we get back home and get organized we will post some stories and pictures from our adventures. …
Ireland: Day 2
So Emily, Chrissy, and I had a blast today in Dublin. We all had brunch (that meal after brecks) at Cafe’ Harry’s in Dun Laoghaire (pronounced Dunleary) and then Emily and I spent some time walking along the pier while Chrissy met a friend at another cafe’ for an hour or two. After this we all drove south of Dublin to Powers Court estate and had tea with scones and cream. The estate was actually the castle that Edmund Dantes buys in the modern movie adaptation of the Counte of Monte Christo. After this we took a wonderfully scenic ride …
Ireland!
So we have landed in Ireland and spent a full day wandering around Dublin – getting very lost! – exploring the city. We are both exhausted and are fighting sleep so that we get ourselves on the right time zone but it was very hard to stay awake today, especially when sitting on the bus! Mike is also fighting a bit of a head cold which developed much more on the plane. It is just an annoying bug. We are staying with our friend, Chrissy, during our 2 day stay in Dublin. She has a quaint townhouse right outside of …
