#europebyaudrey

June 29, 2017

Our Europe trip is here! Our Europe trip is here!

I've been dying to travel across the pond for years and years. I haven't been to Europe (Ireland, specifically) since 2008, and Garrett's never been. For the better part of the last 10 years, most of our travel has been domestic. It's been fantastic to vacation with family and friends all over the U.S., but the time for something new has come.

That something new looks like the U.K., Ireland, and France. We'll be spending three weeks in London, Tralee, Kinsale, Dublin, Islay, Edinburgh, Nice, and Paris. I've been planning this trip non-stop since its inception in September, and I can't wait to bring my itineraries to life. 

My sister, Liz, will be traveling with me on the first leg of the trip, since Garrett started a new job recently and can't take three weeks off. Liz and I will take on London, Tralee, Kinsale, and Dublin, and then Garrett and I will continue on to Scotland and France.

My heart is so, so happy. I can't wait to experience all of the scenery, history, architecture, music, food, and drink, and share it all with you! For daily updates, follow @thisldu_ on Instagram or search #europebyaudrey. I'll recap the whole trip when I get back (that is, if I can be convinced to come back). Until then...

See you on the other side of the pond!

We adulted very hard last week. Garrett’s work schedule ramped up. We got a bed, a car, and an armchair. Two days later, we got a foster dog. Garrett finally broke when he looked over my shoulder as I was ordering a fanny pack—or belt bag
We adulted very hard last week. Garrett’s work schedule ramped up. We got a bed, a car, and an armchair. Two days later, we got a foster dog. Garrett finally broke when he looked over my shoulder as I was ordering a fanny pack—or belt bag, whatever the cool kids are calling them these days—online. “You can’t,” he said. “Why not? I like to be hands-free when I walk!” I responded. “We’re too old. That makes us too old,” he dropped his head and walked away. The fanny pack belt bag is still sitting in the shopping cart. None of this has to do with the church or street shown here except for the fact that I could have had a much easier time taking this photo if I didn’t have to balance holding my keys and water bottle and phone in one hand. So. I think I’m going to cross the line into old person territory today and buy myself that fanny pack. Happy Monday, everyone.
