Photos: Daphne Turns Seven
Daphne turns seven! What?! I know – she’s so grown up, it’s wild.

Travel: Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo – it’s a fantastic way to spend a morning or an afternoon, walking, seeing the animals, and enjoying the company you’re with. The zoo is in Phoenix Park (more on that soon!) and is about 70 acres. We put on about 30,000 steps – we walked a lot. The zoo opens at 9:30am, and we got there shortly after it opened and spent the morning – so about 2.5 hours. We booked our tickets online to save about 15%, plus they have student…

Travel: Dublin Sights
Dublin sights! There are so many statues and sights all around Dublin, so be sure to walk and enjoy your surroundings. Some of these get a little more attention than others (you’ll see what I mean below!). All in all, Dublin is a very walkable city, and we recommend lacing up your shoes and hitting the sidewalk. Okay, photo time. Dublin Sights The Thomas Davis Stature above has a bird on its head – it’s kind of wild how much it’s covered in bird poop.…

Travel: 7 Days in Cambridge
7 days in Cambridge, England – yes, worth the trip! Plus, the company was the best around. It’s not very often we spend a whole week in such a seemingly small place, yet we had a good reason (nerd alert!). We saw sights, art, walked a lot, and even took in a garden and an art house. Plus, we did some studying. Oh, and the eats. Some good food, that’s for sure. Okay, let’s checkout what we did in 7 days! 7 Days in Cambridge…
