Visiting the Emerald Isle

We took advatage of a long weekend in Switzerland and jetted off to Dublin, Ireland. We enjoyed a wonderful few days hanging around Dublin, visiting long-time friends of Dave's, taking in a few sights and of course, enjoying some good Irish beer (ie Guiness, of course!). We were fortunate to have very good weather, in fact, Sunday it was clear and sunny skies from morning until night - nothing better than a green island on a clear day!

Grafton Street - great shopping!

Cannes 2009!

We were fortunate to enjoy another outstanding VIP adventure at the Cannes Film Festival! The scenery, sun and entire experience was excellent. Enjoy the pics and experience our red carpet walk in a 2 min video at the end...

On the red carpet!

Lunch on the beach of the Majestic Hotel (Rachel Weisz sitting nearby!).

Rolling out the red carpet, literally. There is a new one rolled out each night of the festival, 12 in all!

And now for the real experience... watch! From entrance, to walking the red carpet, the cast arrival and the start of the film, 'Taking Woodstock' directed by Ang Lee.

Moroccan Fun!

The Lary's enjoyed the sun, charm, mystery and bustle at the cross roads of the African Sahara and the High Atlas - Marrakech and the La Palmeraie Club Med. We spent alot of time poolside, but also ventured in to the city for carriage rides, strolls through Medina square, and lots of sights. The Easter bunny even found us, just before we located a church in this Muslim region. The food was outstanding and the warmth even better!

A slow start for a sick Devan - but he recovered quickly...

Guess what the fish was?

A Moroccan picnic with local entertainment...

Daddy enjoyed the strawberries!

We'll see when this comes off... the hand art - not the monkey.

Yes, very real snakes.

A fun camel ride!

The baby camel, Jasmine, strolls alongside her mommy ... a youthful 2.5 months old.

Monkey's are cool, but girls are more fun. Kellen made lots of friends on the resort!

Always let Mommy negotiate with an Arab in French. Makes for interesting conversation!

The mini club egg hunt - the "yellow" team wins!
