Day 2 of vacation, Day 1 of travel!! We woke up today to the pooch needing to play right away. I think it was his ploy to have us not leave.

We dropped him off at our friends house (thanks Ladies!) and then headed to the airport. We stopped for a quick lunch at Ike’s where I enjoyed an amazing Bloody Mary. I mean, come on!!

Once we boarded the plane, the excitement over came me! It started to rain so I’m not sure we’ll miss the MSP.

We landed in San Fran and started the drive to Napa. It’s gorgeous here! Amazing weather at 8 pm at night. We’re currently enjoying a BBQ dinner at the hotel before retiring to watch the season finale of GOT.

Vacation baby!! I left work today at 2:30 so that I could start my vacation… With beer! A good friend and I enjoyed a few beers at the Local to start the fun.

Then tonight Dave and I attended another charity auction through Target. We might have purchased a little trip in the live auction. I guess 2013 will be the year of trips. And we also won a dual membership to the YMCA (paid $50 and worth $1280!!). I’ll be selling that later.

Of course we had to come home and see that innocent looking pooch.

Yeah!! We are finally home! Today was a long day of travel. We woke up at 6 am Dublin time which is 12 am central. So after a lengthy wait at the airport and a 7 hour flight, we made it to NYC.

Business class was great! I watched a movie, had some wine… Ate a lot of food.

So happy to finally see North America!

Then we had a 3 hour layover in NYC and sat in the Sky Lounge soaking up the wifi and biscotti cookies. We loaded onto the plane old school style.

We landed in MSP early and got a ride from Matthew “The Body” (thanks!) and also found a little surprise waiting for us from Shammie.

And of course, the best part of the day was being reunited with this pooch! (Thanks to Cara and Becca for watching him!) When he saw us, he jumped up an down on us for like 3 minutes… So cute.

Our last full day in Ireland! 😦 We had a great time…

First, we relaxed and had massages in the morning. Then we headed over to the Old Jameson Distillery where we had a guided tour and I was selected as a taster! I was certified and everything…

Our last day in London! We slept in which was very nice and needed. We had a lovely breakfast with Jule and then got ready for the day.

We packed up and headed off to Stratford where the Olympic Village was last year. However, our goal was to get to the mall! Dave was on the hunt for a CD and the store there had it.

Greta was all bundled up in her pram giving me the middle finger.

We found the CD, had some ice cream and hopped the train back to Hackney. We stopped at M&S to grab some sandwiches much to Jules’s dismay. Dave was entertaining Greta on the way home.

We did a quick photo shoot with the babe before we left. Again, Dave trying to entertain her.

The flight back to Dublin was easy. A nice sunset…

And tonight we are staying in a castle!! Clontarf Castle is about 5 miles outside of the city. This guy is on guard…

But pretty soon, this guy will be on guard at our castle!
