colorful: ireland 2016

One of my best friends got married this Summer in [ the AMAZING city of ] Copenhagen, and since we flew to Europe, a long way from LA, we added a couple stops to the trip - starting with our family visit in Dublin, Ireland. 

This gorgeous country holds such lovely memories for me and the hubs (our first trip was last March).  We are so lucky to have his Aunt, Uncle and Cousins living there, so we are taken care of beautifully and it's really a lovely time of long talks, extended meals and so many laughs.

[ everything in Ireland is brighter and just perfect ]
