I was so tired after walking over Dublin and Glendalough on Monday that, after walking Greg to the Arlington to meet his coworkers on Tuesday, I headed back to our apartment and took a long nap. Afterward, I headed back out to explore Dublin some more. I visited the famous Grafton Street and meandered around […]
At 1:45, it was time to meet up with my tour group at the Molly Malone statue for an afternoon trip to Glendalough. (It was a bus tour through Paddywagon Tours.) On the way, we also made a quick stop at Lough Tay (also known as The Guinness Lake) in the Wicklow Mountains. Once we got […]
Around 10:30am on Monday, I walked to the Dublinia building to learn a little more about Vikings and their founding of the city of Dublin. I was able to get a combo ticket that included a self-guided tour of Christ Church Cathedral next door, too. This grand cathedral is only a few blocks from our […]
After saying goodbye to Greg for the day, I walked back to Temple Bar, without any real destination in mind. I thought about hopping back on a bus like we’d done the previous day, but was enjoying my surroundings so much that I decided to just keep walking. Eventually, I came across a beautiful church […]
After going to bed at 5pm on Sunday, our sleeping schedule was (expectedly) quite off. We both woke up around midnight or 1 am. I got up and read my book for awhile, hoping it would make me sleepy so I could fall back to sleep. Eventually, I did go back to bed and snoozed […]
Awhile ago, I had told Greg that if he ever gets the chance to travel overseas for work that my answer is most likely, “YES!” (With the idea that I can hopefully tag along.) Well, our opportunity finally arrived! His company needed to send several people to Dublin, Ireland, for a week! We are so […]
Taking a train across the country is a great way to travel. #CaliforniaOrBust Leaving from Denver, it took about 31 hours until our destination (Sacramento). We didn’t pay extra for a sleeper room, so we slept in our seats. But they are much more spacious than an airplane and lean back farther. I love the […]
A visit to NASA. It rained the entire day, but we still had a fun and inspiring visit at the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral. I think Greg probably enjoyed it the most though. (Adrianna totally gets her love of space from her Dad! ) Visiting the Space Center was a “bucket list” item for […]
I’m not sure if I’ve had more laughter or more tears today. But both have been very healing. The Montreat Conference Center in Montreat, NC, is beautiful. On the second evening, I joined a bunch of strangers at a pizza restaurant where we all shared stories. Such an encouragement after feeling alone on this journey […]
We stayed two nights at the Snow Mountain Ranch – YMCA of the Rockies. Greg and the girls making hiking sticks for our afternoon hike. What you don’t see: for much of the mile hike to the waterfall (near Granby), one of the children was whining and complaining, often stopping to throw her stick to […]
