Big Getaway of The Year

Last week I went to Paris for a girls' vacation with my awesome friends Kelly and Emily. And I want to say just one thing - it was the best trip I've ever taken in my life! The minor detail of not having kids with me might be a reason for that. I did not have to worry about anything for a while as my awesome hubs took care of everything for a week. (Thank you, babes!)

We saw as many sights as we could, we ate some amazing food, we laughed like crazy and overall had a great time together. I don't have very many friends, but the ones I have are some extraordinary people.

We also did a lot of photobombing.

While on our vacation we decided to cram a tiny trip to Ireland. We saw three (official) castles and many more on our way to and from Cork, Ireland. I love love loved Ireland so much! The weather there is a little crazy (rain, sunny, snow) but the country is breathtaking.

We took a lot of Instagram breaks in between of looking at the castles.

I kissed the famous Blarney stone at the Blarney Castle. It was a little scary and apparently I am not as limber as I thought I was as I did not go far enough down to kiss THE stone (I kissed a stone above THE stone. Ha). Now I need to bring Matt over to kiss the Blarney stone as it makes people talk more or more eloquent. Maybe he'll be talking non stop from that moment.

And to top it all off Kelly took me to Disneyland Paris sans kids a day before I left. It was the best. What can I say. We hit all the rides for grownups, did not have to listen to anybody whine, did not have to go a hundred of times on the "It's a small world" ride and did not feel bad about it. But shhhh, don't tell my kids.

All in all great times were had by all of us. We decided to make it a yearly tradition of getting together without kids and having fun. YAY for awesome girlfriends!!
