The sun was shining and there wasn't a rain cloud in the sky so Jor, Sof, Kaitlyn, Paddy, Babez and I hopped on the bus to Phoenix Park to check out Dublin Zoo.
When we got to the Zoo we realized we were the only people not pushing a pram (stroller) or a dragging a child on a leash.... **I would like to add these weren't the backpack kid leashes they have in the States that look like some kind of animal with a long tail that the parent holds on to... at least those attempt make it look as though kids aren't puppies... But no, these were straight up harnesses attached to leashes....
Anyway...
We didn't let the fact that we were childless and may have looked like kidnappers stop us from having fun! We saw a tiger having lunch, penguins (in the safari exhibit?), a 3-day old giraffe, and we even had time to let Paddy become his own exhibit....
I think he fits in pretty well! We all decided if he were an animal Paddy would probably be a walrus. This started the "what animal would I be?" game... At first I was a spider monkey, but it finally came down to a tie between that and a kangaroo... I'm ok with that...After spending the day looking at all the exbitis we said good-bye to Dublin Zoo...
...and headed to Grafton to meet Kaitlyn's mom at Gormet Burger Kitchen. We our course were missing Joe so we snapchatted him...
...ate our meal and headed to Gino's Gelato for one last time... The day was full of "last times" including our last night at Bernard Shaw...
Even though I always love Bernard Shaw, this visit was very different. We were all kind of quite because we knew the end of the night meant a lot of goodbyes.... When those came around I cried held it together. It was so hard to say goodbye to these people that I have grown to love and hold so very dearly to me!
It was an extremely bittersweet day, as I'm sure tomorrow will be too. The parents are coming to get me and I'll be saying goodbye to #5 Trinity House.
Until Tomorrow...
Cheers,
Becca :)
