Surprise local holiday

I decided that I'd up my game a bit this year and surprise Mrs Raheny for her birthday. 
Don't get me wrong, she is still thrilled with the wet suit that I got her last year, but I thought that I'd get something a bit more exotic. 
I booked a holiday. 
I also know how worried she gets when we are far from the kids. So I booked a holiday in... Dun Laoghaire. 
In the grand old Royal Marine Hotel.
