They were 21 months and 3 and a half. Some thought that we were brave. But it was only two and a half hour flight, we knew people who’d travelled to the US solo with two kids, and even to Australia. We could do it. So why we were terrified?…
The National Sealife Centre, Bray. We had planned to go to the Zoo on the Monday of our week off in September, but a weather alert changed our minds. A friend had mentioned the aquarium in Bray as a good rainy day activity and since it’s only 45 minutes away…
