We're here everybody!
We flew into Dublin, Ireland early Monday morning and have been having a blast ever since! The only hangup we have had was in the airport in Chicago. We had been hoping to hang on to our bags on all three flights, but they made us check them for some weird reason. We have decided we hate O'Hare and will try and avoid it from here on out. Unfortunatly, one of our connecting flights back is through Chicago, but after that no more!
We have only been here for three days but we have been all over Ireland...literally. We drove all the way across the island on a bus tour to see the Cliffs of Moher which were amazing! On the drive, we found out Ireland's weather is even more spastic than Missouri's. One second we were enjoying the cliffs, minding our own businsess and the next second it starts pouring rain! We got soaked and ran back to the visitor center. Five minutes later the sun shows back up. Soggy and damp, we got back on the bus and saw the rest of the beautifully green countryside.
We also went to Trinity College Library (a life-long dream of mine) to see the historic Long Room. This amazing library houses the world's largest collection of medieval manuscripts. Tasha watched me wander around in goofy, nerdy awe as I took it all in.
Tomorrow we head to Paris and have a very early flight, so be praying all of the transportation goes as planned. We are suprisingly recovered from our jetlag, but only after going to bed at 5PM the day we got there! Sorry Sandy, we tried and failed :)
Oh, and Tasha wants to say a special THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Brinnae for letting her borrow her waterproof jacket. She would still be soaking wet right now if she didn't have it since it rains all the time.
More to come!!! Love you all!!!
Such great photos. So much fun. Many of us don't appreciate Chicago airport...oh well, at least your luggage made it. And no trouble with jet lag, you guys must be young or something. Enjoy Paris!
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of you. I know, i am not to be envious. So I will live vicariously through your blog posts! HAVE A GREAT TIME! I will be stalking your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteLEVASHA! I miss you. But I know you're having all sorts of ridiculous fun. And you're very welcome for the jacket, Napoopsie. Steap-n-cheap has served us well. Excited for all the future posts!
ReplyDeleteOh, James and I saw a man trying out mattresses at the mall yesterday who was showing a whole lot of buttcrack. He's on your team, Levi.
