My (two) coins thrown in Trevi Fountain in March certainly brought me back to Rome way sooner than I could have imagined. My travels this year have all brought quite memorable experiences but this was one specifically special. My family, all seven of us, were to travel to Italy + Greece to celebrate our parent’s 30th wedding anniversary. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate what get have accomplished together thus far especially being a lot of their first times in Europe! The highlight of the trip that was the main focus was to have their vows renewed in Rome.

Dublin is our last stop of our very memorable European adventure. Looking back upon it now, I am so happy about that, too. Right off the bat we knew it was going to be a good stay. One aspect being that how kind the Irish are. Oh my goodness so kind! Our taxi driver from the airport to our hotel spoke to us like we have known each other our whole lives!!

Our first evening we sat in a pub and drank a couple of pints and talked wedding. The pints were a bit warm but supposedly that’s how they do it in London! I am still trying to figure out why! Then we ended our night on the London Eye. It was a beautiful ride at sunset. It took about 30 minutes and we could see the whole city. That was a great way to kick off our time. We loved all the pubs and that even as a big city, London definitely sets itself apart.
