21 Weeks in Ireland!

Well the Scanlon's european tour is coming to an end. Today is our last full day in Ireland, we fly back to London tomorrow for a lay-over and then into Boston. We've had such an amazing time I can't believe it is already time to go home! Here is a snapshot of everything we did in Dublin. (its a big post since I didn't get a chance yesterday, so this is all of Dublin rolled into one!)


A forecasting of the months to come? Let's hope not!! HA. This was on Friday, which happened to be the day that the time difference hit us both. Mostly the day revolved around eating and sleeping ha. But we managed to visit the Dublin Zoo for a couple hours.


Dublin Castle, part of our walking tour of Dublin. Which happened to be during the only 2 hrs it rained today!! We had a very well informed Spanish tour guide! The accent kind of threw you but she had a TON of history knowledge.


St Patrick's Cathedral. Which apparently is the cathedral that Guiness built! The Guiness family paid to restructure the church when it was falling apart back in the 1800's (I believe it was the 1800's, it was raining pretty hard at this point and I just wanted to get inside)



Inside St Patrick's Cathedral, the windows were quite beautiful, its amazing how detailed they are.


Micheal on the front steps of a building in Trinity College Square. He looks very tiny!


Onto the Guiness Storehouse for a tour! The place was very cool, Guiness just celebrated 250 years in business this year! And Arthur Guiness the creator leased the land where the store house is however long ago and signed a 9000 yr lease at 40 pds a year. Someone is getting screwed on that deal, judging from the crowds the tourist business alone is a goldmine! Anywho...this is Michael in the tasting room.


This is me in the Guiness sample room. Was both of our first times trying Guiness and honestly it is the first alcohol I have had sips of since becoming pregnant that I actually had a taste for. Delish, must be all the iron!


Both of us at the end of the tour with our complimentary pints! (for those of you concerned with the amount of alcohol in the pics, chill out haha...I took a few sips out of each, eventhough I was told you could drink a pint of Guiness occasionally it just didn't feel right to finish a beer!)


And finally this is the 21 Weeks picture, taken in front of the Guiness Storehouse!

As you can see we've had such an amazing time, almost sad to go home. But the faster time goes by the sooner we will be able to hold our little girl! And we are both missing Artie! That's it for our european tour will be coming at you next from good ole Canton Ma!!
