London

Our last stop on our trip in March was London. It was so much fun. I absolutely loved it!! We had perfect weather and got to enjoy 3 days there. We tried to see as much as we could, but with only 3 days we were limited. We had an early flight from Dublin to London so on our first day we were pretty tired. We walked around the center city area and did a lot of window shopping, because everything was so expensive. We then went to buy our tickets for Lion King and there was a show starting in 5 minutes so we went right on in. We were disappointed in some of the cast, but the overall production was fabulous!! The costumes and sets that they used were amazing!! I was just expecting the singers to be able to sing! The next day we explored the city. We started we a hop on hop off bus tour and then went to a few of the sights. Michael loved the War Museums. We of course went to the Tower of London which was awesome. It's so easy to spend an entire day there. There was a huge St. Patrick's Day celebration at Trafalgar Square. It was basically a lot of drunk people dressed in green. On our last day we did more exploring. We went to several parks, which were all beautiful and took tons of pictures. We didn't do the Eye of London because it was so expensive, 15 lbs per person!! On our last night we really wanted to see another play so we saw Phantom of the Opera. It totally exceeded my expectations, it was fantastic!!!! An amazing end to our trip.

Ireland

Ok, so I know I haven't posted in forever!! Sorry, I'll try to do better. The only thing exciting that's happened lately is our trip to Ireland and London. We absolutely loved both!! Ireland was our first stop and we stayed in Dublin. Michael got to golf a couple of times, which made him so happy!! We explored mostly the Dublin area, which was awesome!! But we also took a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher and Galaway Bay. They were incredible!!! It was my absolute favorite part of our trip!! It was a long day on the bus, but totally worth it. Most the other pictures are from Dublin. We were here for 4 days and then moved onto London.
