Dublin

After a long, over-night flight, we landed in Dublin, Ireland on June 25th.Without much time, or energy, we hastily caught a bus from the airport and checked in to our hotel before making our way to the Guinness Brewery.

Wonka's Chocolate Factory comes to mind

The Gravity Bar atop the Brewery 

 St. Patrick's Cathedral was closed for tours. The pouring rain prevented many pictures

 

Brendan's birthday dinner was lamb stew with potatoes, and of course...a Guinness

Reds Game

The day after our wedding, we took 35 of our friends and family to see a Reds game. Everyone had a great time, and got to experience the sweltering Cincinnati summer!

Wedding

The wedding could not have been any better; the weather, the people, the food, the decoration. Everything was perfect! There will be many more pics to come

Bachelor Party Cincinnati

For the bachelor party in Cincinnati, the guys chained a bowling ball to Brendan's leg and required him to carry it the entire evening and collect signatures from as many women as possible. Thanks to Alan Perry for the tradition and the preparation. Bar hopping included: The Yardhouse, Christian Moerleins, Horsehoe Casino, Madonna's, and O'Malleys on the Alley. It was absolutely a night to remember!

Fountain Square - World Cup

After Brendan got off the plane (and one meeting with Kimmy from Premier Park Services), we headed down to watch the world cup at Fountain Square in Cincinnati. What an amazing turnout!!

Harding Ice Field

Josh organized a bachelor's weekend in Seward in honor of Brendan's upcoming nuptials. The highlight of the trip was hiking the Harding Icefield trail. Neither Evan nor Brendan had been on the trail before, despite hiking all over south central Alaska. The weather was spectacular, and the hike lived up to all the hype.
