Where better to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than in Ireland? Our trip planned for June was pushed up and it turned out to be just the right time. We took the Texas sunshine with us. Courtney did most of the planning and Shaun was our excellent wrong-side-of-the-road driver. We spent 8 days driving across Ireland. It was another "trip of a lifetime" that we never dreamed we would be taking.
It's hard to choose a favorite part, but staying at the Waterford Castle might win. Herb and Shaun played golf there. Courtney and I shopped and enjoyed the rooms. Evelyn turned out to be an expert world traveler. She was happy wherever she was, just to watch us and nap - and she drew lots of attention wherever we went.
We did all the touristy things: dined at pubs, kissed the blarney stone, toured the Guinness brewery, climbed castles, toured awesome cathedrals, drove out to the Cliffs of Mohr, attended a Dunratty Castle feast, and stayed in some charming bed & breakfasts.
Still, it sure felt good to get back to our beds . . . . . Are we getting old or what?
