Venice Italy {With the Simon's}

After my parents visited us in Dublin , they jet setted around Europe for a few weeks on their own before meeting us for a weekend in Venice.  Day 1 we spent wandering and getting lost in the alleyways, admiring the canals, the boats, and the buildings.  Stopping along the way for snacks and drinks and enjoying each others company.  We hit all the sights - San Marcos square, The bell tower, and the Rialto Bridge.  On the Rialto Bridge Old, beautiful buildings Laundry hanging on our street Enjoying a Spritz along the canal A market on a boat The neighborhood where we stayed View of the top of the bell tower in San Marcos Square  Mom and Dad along the canal and again with me pretty canals Another canal shot The Rialto Bridge Stopping for a coffee Classic Venice Street music I loved the pink street lamps Yep, another one They all looked the same but different And they were all so...

Dublin & The Beginning of Prague {The In-Laws Visit}

Image
Brian's parents came to visit us last week!  It was quite the treat to have them over and to have our first visitors in Dublin.  The plan was for them to be in Dublin for 2 days, then head over to Austria for a few days before meeting Brian and I in Prague the following weekend. We all know a trip from the West Coast to Ireland is loooong, but what we didn't expect was for Robin & Richard's flight to be delayed and them to miss their connection!  If that wasn't bad enough, the delay was 24 hours so we lost a full day with them in Dublin. Brian and I were so disappointed, so I could only imagine how Robin & Richard felt, being stuck in DC with no help from the airline (not to worry though, Robin wrote a letter and was nicely compensated in the end).  Anyway, they eventually made it here and their time was so short, I only got 1 photo - can you believe it?  I'm sure Brian can't.  At least it was a good one.
