I try to never turn down an opportunity to travel to places I've never been before. So when my friend Audrey needed a travel buddy to Ireland for her nephew's wedding, I was happy to tag along. Later in the planning phase, her girls Kayla and Sierra were able to miss some school and make the trip. Sierra flew out with us, while Kayla flew out a few days later. Audrey and I took a couple of days at the beginning of the trip to walk all over Dublin while Sierra headed to the country to stay with her cousins.
Below are a few photos from the Dublin part of the trip. More of the rest of the trip to follow later.
I think it's fair to say that we experienced something most people don't in Ireland... continuous SUNNY days! Out of our nine days we had eight with blue skies. Ireland was green and blue which certainly makes Irish eyes smile!

Audrey was the designated Dublin "Map Girl". I took photos and she found the next stop.
With sunny skies, everyone was out enjoying the good weather. We walked through
St. Stephen's Greens where everyone was lounging on the lawns by all the flowers. All the blooming tulips were beautiful.
