Back to work & regular posting, that is.
Quick recap in case anyone cares 
We got back to the States late Monday night & I spent all day yesterday doing laundry (& going on a shoe hunt with Lucky).
We had a total blast. We loved Paris & London, but felt Dublin was kinda meh. I took a crap ton of photos (they're on FB). We went to a Irish Soccer League match & it was a lot of fun. We made friends with the adorable Irish-Ginger bartender at our hotel (Ashlee suggested I bring him home with me). Drank Guinness like it was water. Dublin Castle was pretty cool as was the Guinness Storehouse.
DH surprised me with Tiffany pearl earrings at the top of the Eiffel Tower for my birthday

. We drank beer at McDonalds. We went to the Louvre & Orsay. Orsay was WAY better (thanks to whoever suggested that!). Went to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. Walked the Champs-Elysee. Drank A LOT of wine. Had an allergic reaction to tampons

Took the train from Paris to London. Saw Wicked (which was SO GOOD). Did afternoon tea at our hotel. Saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Went to Westminster Abbey, Harrods, walked by Big Ben & Parliament. Got attacked by a walnut that fell out of a tree alongside the Thames.
That's it in a nutshell!
Re: AW: I'm Back!
Welcome back! Glad you had lots of fun overall. Tons of brownie points to DH for tifffany pearl earrings as a b-day gift in Paris!! Boo to allergic reaction to tampons. I am jealous that McD's in Europe sells beer, if they did that here in the states I would be much more likely to eat there.
Hopefully, I will have a chance to look at your pictures this evening.
I'm glad we chatted throughout your trip, it was easier for me to live vicariously through you.
The earrings are gorgeous. As is the ginger.
Glad you had fun and drank Guinness like a fish, I would expect nothing less
I miss the ginger lol
It was fairly casual, so I wore a sundress, a cardigan & some sandals.
Sounds like a nice outfit for your tea
I was also wondering how that turned out.
What a great trip! I'm so glad you had fun.
