Our Ireland Getaway - Sept. 2012

 Even though this is a blog about Harrison and Declan, I wanted to post a sampling of pictures from our wonderful trip to Ireland to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We had a marvelous time!!

The Treaty Stone in Limerick which dates back to 1691.

 The Temple Bar in Dublin. This was the first pub we went into to try out the pints, cheese boards, and live Irish music.


 The Cliffs of Moher on the west coast along the Atlantic Ocean.



 Lunch in Doolin near the Cliffs of Moher.


 Burren National Park on the West Coast.

 We had such a blue sky that day, with the fluffiest clouds!


At  Corcomroe Abbey on the west side of Ireland.

 The path from our hotel in Portmarnock down to the coast of the Irish Sea.



 Malahide Castle


 Just outside our hotel on the beach.


 A delicious breakfast the 'The House' in Howth, Ireland.

 The Howth Sunday Market.

 There were heather plants everywhere on our hike!

 Kevin is actually on the hiking trail, but it was just as narrow as the roads!


 Looking down at Howth Castle from our summit on the hill.



 The famous English Market in Cork, Ireland.







 Trinity College in Dublin.
