  1. I love the last picture. Aren't those shots from behind of kids and parents priceless? My husband would really, really love to get to Dublin. Wasn't it just freezing? It doesn't seem so in the photos. I hope you had a wonderful time.

  2. I'm glad you can't tell in the pictures, but it was FREEZING! I stepped out a few times in my pajamas to see the water and couldn't stay outside for more than a few seconds! I'd love to go back and stay closer to Dublin during the Spring. The people there are so funny and friendly.
