Arrive Dublin
Morning — arrival
Land Dublin Airport ~7–8am
Collect luggage, pick up the 9-seater van, install child seats. Allow 90 min at the airport for the group.
Check in, rest
Hotel may not have rooms ready at 9am. Drop bags and find a nearby café. The 3-year-old will need a nap — plan around it.
Afternoon
St. Stephen's Green↗ map / site
27-acre public park in the city center. Toddler-safe, a duck pond, wide paths. Perfect low-key first afternoon — everyone is tired.

Evening
Dinner: Baggot Street area
Avoid Temple Bar on night 1 — it's loud and touristy. Baggot Street (Doheny & Nesbitt's, O'Brien's) is more local, quieter, and genuinely good.
