And We're Out! 🍀

The weather here has been fantastic. Until today. Today the clouds have rolled in and begun to open up. As we've boarded and now await departure... I'm thinking only about what a fabulous time we had here. I'm blessed to have now experienced my 3rd such trip. And even MORE blessed to have been on such a trip at least once with each of the boys. It's super having been here. But it's even GREATER to be heading back to the GREAT USA!!! 🍀🇮🇪🎶✈🇺🇸

Galway - Another Night

I'm blessed enough to have already been here once before. When Cameron & I visited Ireland in '09, Galway was my favorite city on that trip. And it's no different this time around. Clean, vibrant, gorgeous... what's not to love?!?

Kylemore Abbey

It took about 2hrs of driving along some incredibly remote mountain roadways to get here. But, once again, it was quite worth the effort. This magnificent structure served as a beautiful backdrop to this morning's performance.

Slieve League

Heading south from Londonderry to Galway we stopped in County Donegal to experience Slieve League. In the pic here we were at about 1,400ft. When we first arrived, visibility was horribly limited. And after about 30min of wishful thinking, we all loaded back onto the shuttles to head back down. Shuttles loaded... and the mist / fog cleared. In about a minute. All of it. Just gone. We all poured out of the shuttles to take it all in. I like to think Betty (gone now almost 5yrs - always looking down upon us, I've no doubt) had a hand in what turned out to be an absolutely spectacular sight to behold. What you don't see in this pic is the amazing left-to-right far-as-the-eye-can-see massive expanse of this natural wonder. So incredibly blessed.
