Museums are not for Everyone

Today after doing a little damage shopping (hey, we are girls- no shopping at all is impossible) we headed to Ireland’s history museum. Now some of you may be saying “Wow, that sounds like fun” and others are probably thinking the complete opposite. Well that is how it went when it came to us as well, and because of that, it was quite an interesting afternoon.

Luckily, for the most part, we have enjoyed all the same activities and know how not to get on each other nerves; however, today Kristen really had to control making really “smart” comments and Brittany had to control herself from beating Kristen up after some of those just too perfect “smart” comments slipped from her mouth. (So, if you haven’t guessed yet, Brittany, being her nerdy little self, enjoys museums and learning new “fun facts” (she even got the kids museum activity sheet when we got there and yes she actually filled it out). Kristen, on the other hand, has a little more difficulty enjoying these great wonders of history.

Although both found the preserved bodies of the bog quite interesting and a little disgusting, the rest of museum was Brittany territory only. But when traveling with someone, one always has to give and take a little, so Kristen did try to be on her best behavior.  In spite of this, at one point, Brittany thought Kristen had gotten kidnapped; however, Kristen was just in a corner reading a book about Oscar Wilde…

Yes, we think the only way to really describe the day would be interesting. Our Aussie friend, Hamlet, also joined us and was a much better “team- player” compared to Kristen. But while he was in the bathroom, we both had to laugh because we knew it wasn’t his thing either, he was just playing the part of the kind gentleman, who thoroughly enjoyed the arts. Whatever the case may be, by the end of the day, Kristen probably owes Brittany once again…
