Danielle & Val Visit Ireland for 2nd time! Days 1-3 in Dublin

I was given the opportunity to come to Ireland with my colleague Val for WebSummit, a technology conference that was being held in Dublin. When I told mom I was going, she said she wanted to come along so we decided to extend the trip a few days past the trade show so we could get some sightseeing in! Here are some pictures from the first 3 days in Dublin with two Vals!

Meeting up at the airport in Boston! Yay, so happy to have my travel partner with me!

Time to start our flight to Dublin! #aerlingus

Well I gave it a shot with that whole sleeping on a flight thing, but it just wasn't going to happen. So instead, mom and I just enjoyed a few adult beverages.

Welllll that whole no sleep on the flight thing caught up to us, so a nap and a strong cappuccino was necessary for our first day in Dublin

Mmmm delicious "toastie" and chips!

Val being Ansel Adams at Merrion Square, a beautiful park right by our hotel.

Beautiful "Golden Light" on our walk around Dublin
