Ireland - I'm so LUCKY!


In June I traveled to Ireland with our friends, the S. family. It was a long trip there, but I stayed
for two weeks! Here I am with R., E., and C. at the airport. It was a fascinating trip with landscape we just can't see in Utah and so much history! Thanks for taking me along!


This is where I stayed with the S. family in Trim. Thanks for hanging out with me C.!




Can you find me in the beautiful gardens!





E. and I are in the train station headed to Blarney Castle. It was built over 600 years ago! You can find out more historical information at this website.

This is Kylemore Abbey which is in western Ireland at Connemara. It was built in 1867 and has been a vacation home, a convent, an international boarding school, and is still owned and operated by Benedictine nuns today. See their website for more amazing photos and historical information.

I definitely had the luck of the Irish with me to see so many beautiful new places. Learn more about Ireland by following the links in this post. I'm planning another trip next week! See the maps for a clue to where I'm going. Bon voyage!
