We had the privilege of sponsoring (think, AF assigned relocation specialists) an incoming family this past June. The G fam are a fun couple who have become good friends and were wild and crazy enough to propose traveling with our whole brood. So, off we went for a long weekend to Dublin, Ireland!
We stayed in a great location near Temple Bar where there was all kinds of yummy food.
The highlights of the trip included a Viking Tour...
Touring St. Patrick's Church...
Touring Trinity College and seeing the Book of Kells, then learning lots at a Viking museum...
The view from our apartment:
Christ Church
(Where incidentally my purse was pickpocketed. NOT the highlight of the trip. God was so good to return my wallet with only the cash missing. A sweet family found it hours later and called us. Praise Him for that blessing!)
One day, we took a bus tour across the country to the west coast.

| Views along the motorway...just a little castle here and there... |
We arrived on the western coast of Ireland and explored the Cliffs of Moher.
 |
| Irish Shamrocks! |
Our tour continued along the coastline, up to Galway, but we stopped to explore the rocky shoreline.
 |
| A leprechaun castle. |
One of the most hilarious memories of the whole trip was a potty stop at a gas station in the middle of Ireland that was called, "The Obama Centre."
For real.
I'm just gonna leave you pondering and laughing at that one...
