Back on the train gang! We boarded our final train to Dublin; by now we’re pretty good on finding the platform and boarding the trains!
Temple Bar Inn was our final hotel of the trip; prime location and nice rooms. We had stayed here before on the Holy Slainte tour and knew it was a good landing spot to finish out our journey. First off was some lunch before hitting the Guinness Brewery with the Hursts while the boys headed back over to Grafton Street for some final shopping before early taxi departures in the morning.
Now as it was the kids’ first trip we let them lead the way and explore while the older, wiser ones followed and enjoyed every second.
Next stop was the Gravity Bar on the top floor overlooking Dublin with a circular bar. When Joe and I first came here 26 years ago it was empty; but no longer. We grabbed our tasting and admired the view before heading back to the hotel and one last dinner in Dublin before heading to the airport early the next morning: the Kennedys our first to Charlotte, followed by the Hursts to Toronto, and Jacob to Dallas! Amazingly we all made it back without much issue at all!!
