Dublin Castle, Blarney Stone

Kicking off our Ireland trip with delicious pastries. Now if only they were vegan...


Mommy distracts herself by staring at a pretty flower.


Lolo and Lola enjoy a hot cocoa and a blueberry coconut pastry.


Aunt Lindsay has a strawberry pastry and seafood soup.


Mommy and Daddy scrounge a vegetable panini.


Heading to the Dublin Castle.

Mr. Bear and Lola.


 This one is going to make it into my Awkward Family Album one day.

Gorgeous chandeliers at the castle.

Tall and taller.

This room is the most ceremonious room in Ireland, including where they have meetings with other country leaders.
