Tonight we finished up packing for our 10 day trip to the British Isles. I am feeling excited to begin this adventure and hope to see many amazing and beautiful places and sites. I am traveling with my Mom, Dad, as well as my Dad’s high school student’s from Toms River High School East. Tomorrow we leave from Newark Airport at 7:30pm and arrive in Dublin, Ireland at 7:00am the next morning. Well, I’m off to bed now to get some sleep for departure day tomorrow!

Today after school my Gradnparents drove me to my dad’s school where we started are Journey to the airport. When we arrived at the airport, we went through the Check-in process, and then headed to the gate. When the flight attendant called our gate we boarded the plane. During the plane flight I got a very restful sleep. When we arrived in Dublin we met our tour guide Catherine where we the headed to Malahide Castle.

While our group was there we walked around Malahide Castle and Malahide Park. One thing that I noticed there was that the grass was so green that it didn’t even look real. After walking around for a bit our group headed over to Dublin where our group stopped for a lunch stop. I ate a smorgasbord of buttered toast and jelly. After lunch we headed over to Trinity College to view the Book of Kells. After my dad got yelled at for take me a picture of the book of Kells we visited the Long Room which is the library that was featured in the movie Harry Potter.

This is a picture of the Book of Kells.

These are both pictures of the Long Room.

After the Book of Kells we hopped on the bus and headed to Stevens Park. At Stevens Park we walked around and took pictures of the beautiful flowers. Funny story, while we were there we saw a guy feeding the pigeons. I walked towards him and he put pigeon seed on my hands and the pigeons swarmed me for the food.

Then we finally walked back to the bus and rode to dinner were we had beef st
