Wow, I can’t believe we’re at the dawn of our first wedding anniversary! Yes, this Saturday, November 7, we will be celebrating one full year of wedded bliss.

Even when times are tight, I believe you have to live each day to the fullest, especially the important days… so we’re taking 3 day vacation in Dublin, leaving tomorrow and coming back on Sunday. I can’t wait! It will probably be our last little getaway as just the two of us and it may be the only time I get to Dublin this holiday season.
Here are some of the things we have planned!
- The Four Seasons by Candlelight - concert at The National Concert Hall
- The CHQ building for shopping at Meadows & Byrne and a meal at Toss’d.
- The Irish Museum of Modern Art
- Dundrum Town Centre – shopping at Hamleys Toy Store and a night at the movies!
- Kilmainham Gaol – historic jail used from 1700s to recently
- Two-night Bed and Breakfast stay at the Paramount Hotel in Temple Bar
- Browsing the wonderful foods of Fallon & Byrne
Of course, we plan to do a lot of relaxing as well and maybe a spot of Christmas shopping… but all in all, it should be a great couple of days away. Look out for pictures in an upcoming post!

Can’t believe it’s been a year already (even longer since you’ve been gone!). Enjoy your fancy little weekend. Sounds wonderful.
p.s. I’m watching some Arrested Development and thinking of you.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since we saw you and Frank in Ireland. James and I were just talking the other day about how much fun we had on that trip. Have a great anniversary celebration and congrats! Take care and best wishes!
