AE Travel Lens | Ireland 2012, Part One
Tags:
Hello from Dublin, Ireland!
I'm traveling this week with Scrapmap and a wonderful group of like-minded memory keepers and photographers. We've spent the last couple days in Dublin and are getting ready to move on to other parts of this glorious country tomorrow.
Here's a few photos from our adventure:
We spent today in Dublin, visiting the Guinness Storehouse and Trinity College (to see the Book Of Kells) among other adventures.
As you can imagine with our group there's a lot of this:
Taking photos of stuff like this:
One of my favorite things so far was visiting The Mill at Avoca Village, Wicklow. Seriously, just take a look at these colors. We got to visit the working handweaving mill where they make their beautiful blankets, scarves, hats, etc, The colors are just so awesome. Loved learning about the process and seeing the looms in action.
They have an online shop if you want to check them out. Definitely bringing a few blankets home with me.

I love the group shot! In my area...seeing pictures just taking pictures is NOT a common thing so when I have my camera out, taking a picture of the street...I stand out. I wouldnt stand out in this group! Love it...

Sigh. This is the trip I was supposed to go on. Had the funding all lined up. Then my husband deployed back to Afghanistan and mommy guilt kept me from being able to leave my son. Next time, Ali. Next time.

Oooh - I literally want to eat those colors. Or wrap myself completely in them. Or paint each room in my house a different combination of two of those colors. Or all three of the above.

Welcome to Dublin and to Ireland! I knew that you would just LOVE Glendalough and Avoca and of course Guinness! At least it hasn't lashed rain yet and totally ruined your trip. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the country and on Dublin when you get back and start to really blog. Enjoy the rest of your trip here and safe travels back home to you and all the group!

Wonderful to know you were in Ireland :) Your group probably doubled the number of scrapbookers in the county! Lol :) People here sadly have rarely heard of scrapbooking, it's Very niche!

Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic but I
was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had issues wikth hackers
and I'm looking at options for another platform.
I would be awesome if you could point me iin the direction of a good
platform.
