Ireland + London Vacation

Exactly one month from today my family, including my two brothers, parents, and Justin, will be boarding a plane to Ireland where we will spend six days exploring the rolling green hills from Dublin southwest to Shannon before flying to London to spend our final four days.  Having the opportunity to fulfill my parents’ dream vacation to our ancestors’ homeland is beyond exciting and we are looking forward to the gorgeous scenery, outdoor activities of golf, hiking, and kayaking, and meeting the wonderful people of Ireland.  The added bonus of visiting London fulfills many bucket list dreams of visiting Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, and Big Ben to name a few as well as the opportunity to hopefully see Olympic Park immediately prior to the Summer Olympics.

While we have booked our accommodations for the ten days, I would be extremely appreciative of any recommendations you can offer in regards to quaint restaurants, sites to see, or special spots we simply shouldn’t miss. Thank you in advance for your advice!

Also, since I will be out of the country for ten days in June I would love to seize this opportunity to feature guest bloggers who want to share their recipes, personal style, travel experiences, DIY projects, or anything and everything in between.  You don’t need to have a blog, just something to share so if you are interested, please send me an email at thethreadaffect@gmail.com.  Thanks so much, I’m looking forward to hearing from each of you.
