(iPhone Pics) - Ireland Day 7 & 8, Dublin & the Long Journey Home

We are now recovering from a 24-hour day of traveling, but first we had a quick overnight at the nicest hotel in Dublin, including a four-generation dinner at a bordello ...

Mama date.

Downtown Dublin gelato and iced coffee.

Meanwhile these guys walked to the Guinness museum.

Dublin sights.

Guinness.

Guinness and Alex.

Dublin sun and clouds. Everyone remarked that we must have brought the nice weather "from California."

Dublin streets.

More Dublin.

The long ride home. Alex caught double-fisting, while commenting that I shouldn't get "too drugged" on my legally prescribed medication for flight-phobia.

This child was a fabulous traveler, however, has about a 9 minute attention span. Everyone's advice for travel included use of an iPad and the in-flight TVs. I don't think she watched even an entire 25-minute episode of anything.

But she did legitimately fall asleep with the mask on.

We're already over it. Little do we know we have many extra hours of waiting/travel in SFO.

Francie and her new lambie.

Escalator fun.

Ferral Francie - PJ's and in-flight issued tall green socks. And PLEASE stop putting your nasty ass hands in your mouth. We're trying not to bring home any ebola or norovirus or even a cold.

This is when she was still happy to wait. Just a few minutes later she broke into a 2-hour on and off manic tantrum.

... And 23 hours later we made it home and collapsed into our beds, relishing a nice adventure, but happy to get back to our regular summer routine.
