Planning

When we got married, Aaron and I decided we'd go to Europe for our 5th anniversary. Well, you know how that goes. Life happens. We never made any hard and fast commitments, but we hoped that we might be able to make it happen for the big ten. Even up until very recently, I had my doubts, but I'm happy to say that this is happening!

I am beyond thrilled to say that in September, we'll be flying to Dublin! We'll be gone for 10 days (though two of those will be mostly travel), and we'll do Ireland and Paris (and hopefully another country--like England, Belgium, or Germany--if we can manage)! We bought our tickets to Dublin a month or two ago, but today is the first day that we've really sat down and begun to plan things out. We bought our tickets to Paris today. I'm having a hard time believing this is real.

Our (preliminary) route through Ireland.

Yeah, I make spreadsheets for vacations.

Our poor kids have been a little neglected today with us planning and me making up all my nerdy spreadsheets and trip plans on various websites. Sorry, kids! They're thrilled at the prospect of spending that much time with grandparents while we're gone though.

Stay tuned!
