Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Today we all got up, dressed in matching shirts (thanks Eric!) and made our way into DC to watch the St.Patrick's Day Parade. We had great seats in the grandstand looking across at the White House. It was a beautiful sunshiney day...with a windchill of about 10 below. It was so cold. I thought we would turn to solid ice. Seriously. Next time I am wearing snow clothes!!
Top o' the morning to ya!
Washington Monument looking great this morning.
Our matching shirts (dad is too cold to show his!).
Brrr, let's snuggle up!
Daddy's turn! At least we remembered to bring a blanket for K.
And the parade begins!
Bagpipery, very important element.
I like this picture.
Falls Church representing.
Irish Dancing. There about 20 different Irish Dancing Groups in the parade. Also, if I am cold, they must be freezing!!
And then this happened. Right...
Fun day at the parade!!

Moving Day
Today (and yesterday, and the day before) we packed up our whole house in preparation for our big trip back to the USA and onward move the the Marshall Islands.
Mt. Boxes!

A sparkling blue ocean day!
Oh look...a parade!
Dancing to the beat!
More parading!!

Our Bomfim wishes that didn't come true...
Man, those are tough little ribbons!
More daddy-daughter parade play time
The parading continues at full volume, in spite of baby naps!
Happy times!

Dublin 4
Fully rested and recovered (except for J-Bone who was still a bit under the weather), we headed out for an action packed day of fun and adventure with Ireland's national pastime....drinking!! First stop was the Guinness Storehouse, then a surprisingly efficient horse-drawn carriage ride back to Temple Bar to meet up with Johnathan for a late lunch, followed by live music and dancing with Kyliezinha in the afternoon.
Lil' K got up with the sun, so we had a little pre-breakfast snack!
#whyistherenobreakfastinbrazil?!
Heading over to tour the Guinness Storehouse on a frosty March morning!
So excited!
Bottles, beers, taps, and a Guinness sculpture!
So much Guinness, so little time!
The year's first contender for Oakley family Christmas card!
Fun fact: Krissy is an official graduate from the Guinness school of bartending!
Finally, our "free" pints
Guinness mustaches
Even Kylie had fun!
(again primarily due to a pocket full of grapes)
View over Dublin
(hint: the white domes have Guinness in them)
Group shot!
Eric: Let's take a horse-drawn carriage ride!
Everyone else: *crickets*
Eric: No seriously, it will be fun!
And fun was had by all!
Krissy demonstrating what to us is two way to say "all good" or "ok",
but don't do #2 in Brazil because, it means a$%#0!e
Snug as a bug in a rug!
More carriage fun!
Who's winning the t-shirt contest on the O'Winston's home turf?
For more info on why this is funny, see Krissy and Johnathan's blog Stories from Somewheres
Our lil chub!
Could Dublin be cuter?!?
Finally! Proof that we did see Johnathan on this trip!
DELICIOUS Guinness Stew and Roast Beef at Quays
Kylie showing off her cool moves!
Autumn "forgot" to mention that we embarrassingly ate
almost every dinner in Lisbon at the Hard Rock Cafe.
What? We're American's and the Portuguese food was just about
the same as the Brazilian food the we have a home in Recife.
Don't judge.

Say cheese!
