After two days of resting from their adventures, the Beatles and Laura scheduled their second concert for tomorrow (March 29) during lunch time before heading to a department store located at the city square. George had already returned the van to the rental center and bought more blueberry scones by this point. As they began walking, Laura remarked, "It's fair to say that I've collected a great number of shamrocks throughout our tours, daddy George! Twenty in total!" George replied, "You certainly did, Laura, darling! Speaking of, that just gave me an idea!" Laura said, "Oooh! What is it?"...

Later that evening, our heroes went to have dinner at a cafe located just outside the Castle grounds. Aside from the main course, they ordered a whole Black Forest cake complete with large cherries on top (This was Laura's choice for her birthday) to share for dessert. Laura told her father while the food was in preparation stage, "It's hard to believe I'm ten years old and a big girl now, daddy George!" George replied, "I agree with that, Laura, darling! Seems like only yesterday when I first met you at that orphanage, and you were eight back then." Laura replied, "Yeah. Time really does fly...

March 25, 1966

Today is officially Laura's tenth birthday, and the group had just reached the vicinity of the last place to visit in their itinerary: Blarney Castle, which is home to the famed Blarney Stone. Of course, there's also a good number of well-kept gardens that are open for anyone to stroll around and even just to relax. "So how are we going to see the Blarney Stone, daddy George?", asked Laura as her father studied the map. George replied, "Well Laura, darling, I'm happy to say we'll just need to go up to the roof of the Castle to accomplish that! It is located right there." Laura...

Laura had such a wonderful sleep throughout the rest of the road trip that she got up immediately when George brought the van to a parking spot and as Pattie shook her in a gentle manner while saying, "Wake up, dear! We made it." Laura replied, "Perfect timing, Pattie. Perfect timing!" This made her chuckle in response. Once everyone had disembarked, George carried his daughter for a shoulder ride and said, "I see you slept veddy well, Laura, darling!" Laura responded, "I sure did, daddy George! That was refreshing, too." George smiled and remarked, "I'm glad." Laura smiled back. Expressions...

Two days later, everyone woke up at around 5:00 am and were on the road to Giant's Causeway. Now if you're wondering why they left an hour before sunrise, that is because George thought it would be best to see the place first thing in the morning and so that he could watch the sun come out while driving. As he whistled merrily, Pattie and Laura were sharing a sweet mother-daughter moment together. Laura asked, "Pattie, how has your career as a model been thus far?" Pattie replied, "Good question! It's been very lovely overall, my darling!" Laura remarked, "Awesome! I'm glad to know that." Pattie...

The Beatles, Pattie, Laura, and Mike kicked off the new day with their much-anticipated morning swim. Even Sparkie couldn't resist joining them in the water just like what he did at Blackpool two years ago! Laura also brought along and wore her goggles so that she could do some beach diving. Ringo said, "It's very nice to go swimming with you for the first time, Pattie!" She replied, "Thanks, Ringo! The same goes for you all." George said, "Indeed, my love!" Everyone continued having a lot of fun for the next two hours. Afterwards, they proceeded to the picnic table where they ate the canned...

The sun had started to set by the time our heroes made it to the Dingle Peninsula, and at just the right moment, they found the perfect beach to hold their overnight camp-out. After parking the van again, everyone got all their stuff and walked down towards the sandy surface. George told his sweetheart as they did so, "Love, since you might not have your own sleeping bag, I decided to buy one just for you earlier this morning." Pattie replied, "Oh, you did? How very sweet, my darling! Yeah, I don't have one unfortunately, so thank you so much indeed!" George smiled and said, "Heh, heh! It was...

"Oh, my goodness! This has got to be the most beautiful view I've ever seen!", exclaimed Pattie as the group reached the Cliffs after a short hike from where the van was parked. George replied, "I could not agree more, my love! It's simply a glorious sight to behold!" Laura said, "Indeed, it is, daddy George!" John said, "And I can see why these Cliffs are a popular site among tourists." Mike said, "Yeah. Pretty much everything about them is postcard-perfect, I must say!" George replied, "Definitely, me mate!" The others nodded in agreement. Pattie said, "Well, time to open your cameras! We'll...

The next day...

George, Pattie, and Laura went to have another morning walk together shortly after breakfast and booking their tours for the rest of the other places in their itinerary. Next up on their list are the Cliffs of Moher as well as a joyride around the Dingle Peninsula and Wild Atlantic Way. This time, however, George had chosen to rent a van in which he can be the one to drive since he missed doing so. As they were walking, they happened to pass by the same salon where Adam landed and destroyed its garden. When the hairdresser noticed the trio, she decided to take a break from replanting...

Once the group got themselves settled in a seafood shack after meeting each other again at an hour before six, they began sharing how their respective tours went while their orders were being cooked. John asked, "So how was your walk at the beach with Pattie and Laura, Geo?" George replied, "It was bloody magnificent, mate! We had it all to ourselves and took plenty of photos there until almost sunset. Also, do you wanna know the best part of our entire tour?" Paul said excitedly, "Of course! Go ahead! What is that? George continued, "I finally found my connection to this place after discovering...

"Yes, daddy George? What is it?", asked Laura as she and Pattie ran to check his awaited discovery. George then pointed his finger towards an old farm lot, and the nearby house had been inscribed with what appeared to be its former owner's signature. He said, "Ye see that place over there? That was where Grandpapa John (For those who are wondering, John French is the full name of George's maternal grandfather) used to live in before moving to Liverpool! Thank goodness it's still intact after all these years!" Pattie remarked, "Bless me! So it is! Really amazing how you have quite a family connection...

Thanks to the combination of the cool breeze and sunny weather, George, Pattie, and Laura were sure to have a fantastic tour as they went down the steps leading to the county's wide beach. From the left side, a view of the Hook Lighthouse (Which is one of the oldest in the world) could be seen. Laura said, "It's great to be near the sea again, daddy George!" George replied, "And to feel that gentle wind in our hair, Laura, darling!" He then asked Pattie, "You like it, too, love?" She replied, "Oh, yes! Indeed, I do, honey!" George said, "Jolly good! Since we've thankfully got the entire beach...

The journey had been a very relaxing one for the Beatles, Pattie, Laura, and Mike as their van drove through the highway. This was helped by the fact that their views consisted of lush green meadows and fields of colorful flowers. While Laura was busy looking at them, George and Pattie were once again gazing lovingly at each others' eyes to the point where they rubbed the tips of their noses together for the first time! After a soft, sweet giggle, Pattie said, "I'm very excited to celebrate this special day of mine with you, honey." George replied, "So am I, me beautiful birthday lady. This...

March 17, 1966

Now that St. Patrick's Day had arrived, George, Pattie, and Laura woke up feeling rested and ready for their County Wexford experience. After changing into their green outfits, they proceeded to meet with the others at the restaurant. Of course, this wasn't the only special day for them now. "Happy Birthday, my dear!", George told his sweetheart as they rode the elevator and kissed her on the cheek. "And Happy Birthday, my future new mummy!", added Laura. Pattie flashed a big smile and replied, "Aw! Thank you so much indeed, darlings!" George said, "It was our great pleasure,...

"So, George, what else did you and Pattie do since the time you started dating?", asked Mike while their lunch was being prepared. George replied, "Good question! Just yesterday, we had a morning swim at the pool and drank some tasty strawberry lemonade. We then returned to Grafton Street and ate at an Italian restaurant, which also happens to be one of Dublin's best, later that evening." Mike said, "That's bloody fantastic! I can tell you enjoyed yourselves very much." George said, "Mm-hmm! We certainly did." Pattie and Laura agreed. The former then asked, "And what time did you set our ride...

We now rejoin George, Pattie, Laura, Mike, and the other Beatles in their morning walk, and I am happy to say that they're having a grand time with it together! At this point, it had taken them to the city square where something intriguing seemed to be in preparation stage. Laura asked, "Oooh! What's going on there, daddy George?" George took a closer look and replied, "Hmm...Judging by those floats, I can sense a parade of some sorts coming up, Laura, darling." Laura remarked, "Yeah. I can see that, too." John said, "And it's no ordinary parade, actually! That's the annual St. Patrick's Day...

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of Dublin, Adam was still on the run from the wrath of the hairdresser. However, he had become exhausted and didn't have any other option but to rest for a while. He said as he lied down on the grass, "I can't believe it. I just can't believe it! I've been given a verbal thrashing by one of the members of that insect band! Oh, well. Why bother? That bird really needs him more at the end of the day. Now, I hope the hairdresser won't find me here..." He then fell asleep. Unfortunately, more trouble was around the corner. You see, this grassy area is actually close...

By the time breakfast was over, Pattie waited alongside Paul, Ringo, and Mike at the lobby while George, John, and Laura went to book a special van service for their visit to County Wexford courtesy of the hotel's tourism agent. Paul asked, "Say, how was George able to win your heart?" Pattie replied, "Well, this actually happened last week. I was just waiting for my breakfast order when he came to my table and asked me if I'd like to talk with him for a while. At first, I was surprised, albeit in a pleasant way, to see a Beatle ask such a question in a straight manner. Then, I gladly accepted...

After capping off their meal with gelato cakes for dessert, George, Pattie, and Laura left the restaurant with their stomachs satisfied and hearts happy. They then decided to spend the next hour walking around another corner of the Street so that their food would be completely digested. Afterwards, they headed back to the hotel. George asked, "Pattie, now that Adam is gone, would you like to stay with Laura and I in our room for the rest of our vacation?" She replied, "Absolutely, George! That's exactly what I've been thinking a while ago." George said, "Splendid! However, since we're not married...

"What a lovely restaurant this is!", remarked Pattie as the trio were led by one of the servers to their table. George replied, "Indeed! I've also heard that it's among Dublin's best for Italian fare." Laura added, "And we will be able to sit at a quiet corner!" Pattie said, "Great! That means no rude customers disturbing us, too." George said, "Precisely, love!" They soon took their seats and were given the menus. While browsing them, Laura remarked, "The food all looks so good, daddy George!" He replied, "It certainly does, Laura, darling! What type of pizza would you like us to get?" She...
