Since its been last year since Ive posted, I guess ill catch you up! Christopher and I took a fabulous trip to Dublin, Ireland with our friends Amanda Davis, Brown Haynie, and John and Mary Edwards. It was the best new years ever and a true eye opener.....(that there are people who like to drink just as much as Southerners, just with different accents)...for the most part, the Irish were nice people and it is true...they drink all day long, will drink you under the table, and are still standing, though you have fallen fast
The Oliver St. John Gogarty....seriously? Isn't that the best name ever?


Waiting in the airport...Christopher asked me if that was Harry Potters mom...

Temple Bar...the first Irish Bar we went to on the trip!



They usually had Irish bands playing fiddling type music every where we went..

New Years Eve Toasting...


Roaming the streets of Dublin...


Saw Jack at the Wax Museum....


We came upon a beautiful church while walking through Dublin neighborhoods...


Couldn't you just put it all on ice right now?


Traditional Irish bands played everywhere!

A beautiful church in the center of town...

The national Irish Bank

Punishment for being a hot mess...


Christopher demonstrates the 'PROPA way to eat carpaccio'...Grey Poupon please...

guys in kilts...
Guiness is poured two at a time...at least in Christopher land it is

Recuperating in our favorite restaurant (that we went to twice)..called the Farm after a long night in Temple Square...they served persecco with blueberries that moved all around in your glass the whole time...
Another shot of The Farm.....those pics on the wall were all baby farm animals and the light fixtures changed colors from pink to green to blue etc...They served nothing but organically grown food! Delish!!

Amateur photography in front of the Marsh's Library of St. Patricks Cathedral...

Displaying our excellent photogrpahy skills in front of a statue of the guy who started Guiness Bewery and was also part of one of the oldest families in Dublin....I think I just made all that up

St. Patricks Cathedral.....this church is ssooooo old, its really breathtaking...

Seating for super important people very close to the alter....The flags are from different prominent Irish families that used to rule.... (that part is true)

This building used to be an old bank, that was converted to a pub, I wish I had pictures of the inside...its absolutely beautiful..

At the oldest pub in Dublin, built in the 1600's........take a second to realize how OLD that is........ the tap was at your table, which spun around and you poured yourself....luckily, we were very skilled on pouring our own Guiness at this point...!

Yep...

Last pint of the trip....I will miss you Dublin!
