Ireland

We are back from a wonderful week plus two days long trip to Ireland for a wedding and vacation. Jason and I left the kids with his parents and hopped aboard a plane to the Emerald Isle. Our first destination was Dublin. Soon after this, we meet up with Jason's co-worker, Bob, and his wife, Mary Anne, in Galway. We then traveled together by car visiting some towns and ultimately made it to Sligo for a wedding. The following day, we took the train to Dublin and flew home after that.

I just realized I probably should not have posted this many pictures but instead provided a link to a folder in picasa, but oh well. We have many more photos as you can imagine but these provide a little story and time line of our travels. Enjoy viewing!

WOW! What incredible beauty and I'm sure the perfect get away from you guys in this rough season of life. I've always told Rick that if we ever get the chance to go to Europe again, my next dream destination would definitely be Ireland!!!:)
