Dublin:
This past weekend Nicole and I headed off to Dublin, Ireland to meet our good friends Anna and Jeff Laughlin. Anna and Jeff live in NYC and have been great friends of ours since our Lee days. They called two months ago and asked us if we could meet them in Dublin and we jumped at the chance! Plus we couldn't wait to meet their new little boy Charlie - who is now 7 months old. I can tell you that after Nicole and I were around him this weekend - we both have severe signs of baby fever!!
Dublin was great! We really loved it. It felt like a large Cambridge with really nice people. Our hotel was right in the middle of everything - so we just walked everywhere. We went to the Guiness Factory, Temple Bar district (which is like an Irish French Quarter), took a double decker bus tour all over the city, saw their Presidents White House, toured Christ Church Cathedral which dates back to 1150 AD, and shopped up and down Grafton Street. We had a great time and it was so good being with great friends that are so easy to travel with. Charlie is the best baby and was so happy the entire time. He always has a huge smile on his face and laughs - although he almost did get us in trouble with his giggles in the Christ Church Cathedral crypt.
Dublin was our last little international mini-break before our big move. We are sad that this has come to an end, but we are thrilled about the next chapter of our life. Nicole's good friend Christy from NC comes to visit us on Thursday and we are going to see the local attractions in and around London - after that, we get packed up and board the plane for ATL.
Talk Soon!

Baby fever, huh?? You know there is really only one solid cure for that! We are so excited to have you guys back in the States! Good luck in the move and hopefully will be seeing you guys in person some time this year. Then you can meet Emily and Anna and hopefully they will just make the baby fever stronger!! ;)
