Tomorrow is back to school! Tonight I'm looking through my photos and looking back at a busy and funfilled summer, where the warmth of friends made up for the lack of sunny weather. And now we are just 2 going back to school! How did I suddenly become the mother of 2 college students?
This weekend, Dublin hosted the Tall Ships Race, and it was a very busy festival.
I didn't go in on Friday to see it, and Saturday the weather was too miserable. Reminds me of that Irish saying "it would be a great country if you could put a roof on it!".
But yesterday was the farewell, and hubby and I went out to Dun Laoghaire. It was busy! Apparently there were 100,000 people watching from shore.
Those ships are so elegant!
A photographer took our photo, and I thought "if you can take us, we can take you"- here's the result!
Lots of small boats were out in the bay, waving goodbye to the Tall Ships. And we got a blue sky!!
It may be 15 years before they come back, so I'm kicking myself that I didn't go to the Docklands where I could have boarded. Lesson learned..grab the opportunity!
That will be my motto for this (school) year!
