I Heart the Weekend

Lately both Jon and I have been very busy and overtired during the week, making our weekends precious and much-anticipated. As an added bonus, it has been outrageously sunny and warm in southern Ireland - no rain! This past Saturday we went on a day trip with some friends to Youghal, a pretty coastal town about 40 minutes east of Cork City.

We sat on the beach and soaked up some sun for a few hours. Then we walked around the town, taking in the views of the ocean and the ruins of the old city wall. We finished our day at a typical Irish pub, watching the Cameroon-Denmark World Cup game over some dinner.

These are the days that I feel grateful to be alive.
