I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

I took a little trip to London this past weekend and I saw and did a lot of amazing things, and I do promise to blog about those experiences, there is one place that we visited that isn't on any "must visit" tourists lists but still made my top 3 stops. This place, which I highly recommend EVERYONE goes too if they are in London, it an ice cream shop called Creams. This place has one the biggest selections of ice cream and treats I've ever seen. We quite literally spent an hour trying to decide what we wanted. They had creeps, waffles, sundaes, milkshakes, slushies, and warm cookie dough. They even had Easter themes specials. Again, took us an hour to pick out one thing.

However, that wasn't our only problem. Our first issue was dinner. We were hungry and needed food, but we were scared that we would fill up on

dinner and not have room for ice cream. So, after debating on where to eat we decided that since the risk of filling up on dinner was too great, we would eat ice cream first then get dinner. So that is exactly what we did.

When we got to the shop, I couldn't decide between two sundaes - chocolate strawberry and black cherry Oreo. Both looked so good; however, it was another easy solution. Both sundaes were on the special menu and were in a smaller cup AND they were only 3 pounds. Soooooo I ordered both! And omg they were both delicious. I 100% made the right choice. After our ice cream we came to the realization that we were too full for dinner, so we pull every elementary schooler's dream and had ice cream for dinner.

Creams was SO good in fact that we decided to go back the next night so we could try something new.
On this night, I got the cookie dough dish which was warm cookie dough with chocolate syrup and ice cream on it. This was also an amazing treat. I think my overall favorite was the chocolate strawberry sundae. The cookie dough was too chocolaty and gave me a headache.

My friends and I had such a good time, it reminded me of a poem written by William Yeats titled A Drinking Song. This poem celebrates the joys of friendship and shared moments. The main center of this poem centers on love and drinking, they symbolize enjoyment and shared joy.

"Wine comes in at the mouth

And love comes in at the eye;

That's all we shall know for truth,

Before we grow old and die.

I lift the glass to my mouth,

I look at you, and I sigh."

No, if you switch the word "wine" and "glass" to "ice cream" and "spoon", then it's a perfect representation of how we all felt eating that delicious ice cream.

Fairy Lane

While on a scenic bike ride on the Waterford Greenway trail, I came across what could only be described as another world. Greenery incases you from all sides and branches with low hanging leaves sway above you. The world smelled fresh and a sense of calm and beauty just fills your soul. You truly couldn't help taking long deep breathes to fully emersed yourself in its beauty. As you venture further down this path, it becomes even more whimsical as little fairy doors start popping up along the walls. Faires have long been a part of Irish culture as they are depicted as guardians of nature. These beings are playful but troublesome as they interact with humans in unexpected ways. In Amercian culture, we depict fairies as playful, nice creates as we related them to movies like Tinkerbell. Lovable creatures, filled with magic and determination love but fear humans all the same. When I was little, my grandma and I bonding over my very own fairy g...

Give me Moher!

It is no secret that the Cliffs of Moher is the absolute must see in Ireland and after seeing them for myself I have to agree. They were absolutely spectacular, honestly breathtaking. I lucked out when I went and got a beautiful day. Blue skies, a light breeze, it was truly the perfect weather to be able to see the cliffs for all their glory. There was a tower on the far end, and you have ability of the sight-seeing area, and they allow you to go the top and see some island and a higher view of the cliffs. I absolutely love being in nature. Seeing the wonders of the Earth honestly brings me so much joy it's hard to contain sometimes. The only thing that could have made that experience better was seeing puffins on the rocks. I think puffins are the cutest animals but unfortunately, they won't be back until April when it starts to warm up. However, that didn't stop me from buying a little puffin stuffed animal at the gift shop that I have proudly named Fin the puffin. While ...

The Giant's Causeway

On a recent trip to the North of Ireland, I had to opportunity to visit the Giant's Causeway. This area is filled with 40,000 interlocking basalt columns which is the result of a volcanic fissure eruption. This place was gorgeous, one of the prettiest places I have seen so far. We also went on a warm, clear day which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. When you get there, you have a few options to choose from to get down to the causeway; you could take a bus down and be there in 2 minutes. You could walk on the road to bus takes and be there in 15 minutes, or you could take the scenic route and walk down a mountain and be there in 40 minutes. I chose the long way so I could soak up as much nature as possible and it was worth every second. Being able to see the causeway from a bird's eye view made it even more spectacular. The walk down to the Causeway was very easy and filled with different angles of the coastline and the mountains surrounding us. I was al...
