message in a bottle. anniversary edition.

For our two year anniversary I wanted each one of us to write a romantic letter and throw it out to sea in a bottle. Since we were going to Ireland, I thought it was the perfect place to do it.

Zach and I each wrote a letter on each side of the paper. Basically a love letter to the person who hopefully one day finds it. It talked about why we were in Ireland and things we loved. I also included my email address and blog address for the person who finds it to contact me. 

We then rolled the letter up and placed it into the bottle.

Zach then threw the bottle as far as he could into the waters of Ireland. I hope one day someone finds the letter and it puts a smile on their face!

post offices and postboxes of ireland.

I had the most AMAZING time in Ireland with my husband. If you ever get a chance to go to Ireland, do it! Every town had their own unique post office and I made sure to capture them all!
We first had a layover in Manchester, England and was beyond excited when I found Paperchase, a paper store, in our terminal of the airport! I bought a few things of course. 

And then a Royal Mail mailbox from England!

The postbox and post office in Milltown, where we stayed our first two nights of the trip! I stopped in to buy stamps for my postcards! The ladies working in their were very nice and got me exactly what I needed!
Sitting in a local coffee shop writing out my postcards to mail!

Postbox in Galway! I think this was my favorite. I love how it was built into the stone wall!
Post office in Kinsale!

Letterslot in the side of a hotel wall in Kinsale! The manager thought it was funny that I was taking a picture of the letter slot. I told him that I love mail, and he offered me a job polishing it everyday! Sir, If I lived here I would!


Post office in Cork!


I hope you enjoyed my tour of Ireland through post offices and post boxes!

I just got back to work from an AMAZING holiday in Ireland with my husband. It stunk having to come back to reality, but all these fantastic letters made it so much better.
