planning + plotting for the UK

Well, 2019 started out with lots of work so I'm just now having time off from a few back to back jobs. Matt and I have been sick and tired but this week coming up we're gonna rest and get some things done and I'll be spending a few nights planning.... our trip to the UK. Now that we're officially getting a tax refund, I've begun planning the trip in my head and online. Started a google map of places to visit, then a calendar, and then I started mentally planning what I'd be packing and....
We'll be going in the Spring and since weather gets unpredictable in Ireland, it's all about layers. Both shoes are designed for comfort and wet weather, t-shirt and jeans are my usual uniform, and to top it off either my blue navy Topshop coat or a navy blue rain coat. If it's extra cold, a pullover sweater, and a scarf and I'll just wear rose gold hoops and a necklace with the kids' birthstone every day. Ambre said to bring REAL socks so I prioritized those in the board above. 
In the misc. department, everything will fit in my carry on but I'll bring extra t-shirt and umbrella and such with me in my new backpack. Don't you have like 3 backpacks already Evelyn? Yes I do but the neon pink backpack won't do, the kids diaper backpack stays in the US, and if something happens to my work backpack I will be very unhappy. So this will be my new "travel backpack" when I travel for fun and not for work because if I travel for work I already have a work backpack... you see what I'm saying.

Did I already make restaurant reservations in London? Mayhaps? Did I plan an entire trip around Downton Abbey being available to visit? MMMmmmm definitely yes. Wish my poor husband luck and patience having to live with a production supervisor planning a large trip.
