Day 12: Dublin

We took forever to get out of the apartment this morning and weren't exactly on the same page in terms of what we'd wanted to do when we finally left. So after the kids had a good run on a nearby playground, we ate lunch at a burrito joint and then visited the Book of Kells. The exhibit had a lot of information about the introduction of Christianity and writing, the role of the Vikings, and the craftsmanship that went into making books that that time, around 800 AD. After that, we went through the beautiful old Trinity College library, ventured up past Dublin Castle, and then visited the Viking exhibit called Dublinia. Exhausted and hungry, we met up with Laura from DC who was in town for work. We ate a carvery meal at O'Neills pub with a Murphy's Irish Stout to go with it.
