Remember my cousin Phillip and his partner Marlon from our
trip to Rome? If you don't, Brian and I had an
amazing trip last June visiting them in Rome. Well, they pulled out their warmest jackets, hats and scarfs and headed over to Dublin for Thanksgiving weekend.
Jeff, a long time friend of Phillip's, recently moved to Dublin and turns out he and Phillip have spent a number of Thanksgivings together, all over the place - so Thanksgiving in Dublin seemed appropriate.
It was great fun for us. We were graciously invited over to Jeff and his partner Gerry's for Thanksgiving dinner. They made huge and delicious dinner, and we enjoyed every bite of it. I'm still dreaming about the sweet potatoes, they weren't marshmallow topped (yuck), but much better and still sweet. They were so good. And I'm pretty sure Brian is not going to forget the stuffing for years to come.
The rest of the weekend we spent doing some touristy stuff around Dublin, a walking tour, The Old Jameson Distillery, a few Irish meals, and the obligatory pint of Guinness, or two....ok, 3. It was about time Brian and I got around to some of these things, and we really enjoyed ourselves, and our company.

It was so nice to have my cousin in town for the holiday, and for all of us to spend some time popping around Dublin. It was another great weekend. And we're looking forward to many more to come.
