I’m so behind! Whoopsies. Just been living my best life over here.

Today was the day we said goodbye to Ireland (heartbreaking), and took the ferry over to Scotland! Before we headed to port to catch the ferry, we spent some time in Belfast at the Royal Botanic Gardens. They had a rose garden that was already pretty, but will no doubt be absolutely STUNNING this time next week. Lots of pictures from the gardens.

Today is also the day that Rex got to go home! He’s all back to his normal self, and we couldn’t be more thankful for our dog sitter and the team at Blue Pearl for quite literally saving his life. We will never financially recover from this, but he’s worth it for sure.

When we got on the ferry, we expected a normal ferry. Bench seats, pretty basic. This ferry was more like a mini cruise ship which was wild. They had a bar and a casino and a movie room. The seating was super comfortable and it felt more like we were at a restaurant than on a ferry. We all had a pint of Guinness of course. Then we were in Scotland! We spent the night in Ayr at a mildly shady airbnb, but the town itself was cute. We had an absolutely INCREDIBLE dinner at the tree house and then called it a night. Will be mass posting all of the days I missed so stay tuned!
