We arrived at the Dublin Airport at midnight and made our way to our apartment in Dublin - a little scary so late at night in an unfamiliar city. Transporting the luggage and a sound asleep 5 year old was not easy. The apartment is situated perfectly - right in the middle of everything. Unfortunately, the apartment looks nothing like the fabulous photos on the website! It is sufficient, but not great...oh well - you can’t win them all! Marianne came to see us today and showed us around the city a bit - what a fantastic place! We walked along Graften and O’Connell Streets and wandered through Temple Bar and numerous charming and bustling shopping districts. The streets are packed with people! We are hoping to spend a lot of time with family on this leg of the trip and it was really wonderful to have Marianne to ourselves for the afternoon. We will take the train to her house on Wednesday. Kieran returns from Spain tomorrow and the kids can hardly wait to see him! We are all excited to see Robert, Patrick, Brendan, Marguerita and Joanne. The wedding is a week from Saturday, so we know they are all busy with the planning. We will take every opportunity to see them - so much fun to finally be on their turf!! Tomorrow we will do more sightseeing in Dublin and Cullen has an Irish fiddling violin lesson - then he wants to play in the shopping district....visions of euros in his eyes :). Ava was very crabby today - as she fell asleep she told me “I didn’t behave today because it has just been too long without my Daddy” - I agree! Only a little longer to wait :)...
