Phoenix Park

The Wellington Monument in Phoenix Park.

View from Blackrock

This is the view from the Starbucks in Blackrock. I think it is this beautiful view that originally wooed me into applying for a position at this store. In the end, I decided against it and turned down the offer. Once I get a job I'll divulge more detail :)

There is a gorgeous park that almost spans the distance from our home to Blackrock. In the park there is a walk/bike pathway that follows the water the whole way.

Here's a picture in the park:

road trip - camping

Love the water

road trip - crater lake

After camping at the Redwoods we decided to drive inland for some sun and ended up staying at the Crater Lake Lodge. It was absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!

road trip - redwoods

We thought we'd post a few pictures from the road trip we took before our move. We drove down the Oregon Coast to the Redwoods in California. We went on some great hikes but didn't have our camera with us. It was cold but pretty amazing.

the gilmore girls

A new found pleasure, I LOVE the Gilmore Girls. It will be a sad day when I am working at 3:30 and won't be able to watch.

herbert park

One of the many parks within walking distance from where we live.

sandymount strand

This is Sandymount Strand. There is a long boardwalk that goes out to a lighthouse and you can walk out on the beach hundreds of yards because it is so shallow. Lots of dogs.

This is Lilly who we watched for quite a while when she was running frantically around the beach trying to find the ball her owner hit out with a tennis racket.

custard cream

This may seem like an odd entry for the early stages of a blog, but for the uninitiated, the custard cream is a golden drop of heaven. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custard_cream
