2011 has been full of trips already and we started off the new year heading to Dublin which was Molly's first trip to Ireland. It was also an opportunity for Matt to introduce her to the Irish "lads" who he used to caddy with during the summers in Southampton. Instead of making new years promises of not drinking or eating as much, we got right back into the swing of things with plenty of Guinness and fried food. We took an early morning flight to Dublin and arrived at our hotel in the Temple Bar area. We were right on Fleet Street so there was plenty of action. Matt's friends, James and Peter, came up from Kilkenny and we met at a pub called, Sinnot's. The boys told stories of when they caddied and some of the crazy times they had - 10 Irish guys living in one house sort of sums it up. Molly had her first Guinness ever but added a splash of black currant juice which definitely made it sweeter....and more drinkable if you ask her. We did a mini pub crawl and ended the night not remembering much of what happened throughout the day. : )
We woke up early on Sunday so we could take a walk around Dublin and not just drink our way through the city. We got to see all the major sites - Molly Malone, Liffey River, St. Stephen's Green, etc....The city is very cute and definitely reminded us a lot of London. The weekend wouldn't be complete if we didn't meet back up wtih James and Peter for some more food in the afternoon...but this time we skipped out on the alcoholic beverages. We are already planning a trip back to Ireland - hoping to get to Kilkenny at some point so James and Peter can show us around their hometown. They were great to have as hosts and so much fun to hang out with!
