Ireland
Ian is just back from a vacation to Irealnd. We spend some quality time with Grandma Lily and Grandpa Frank, Auntie Valerie and Uncle Diarmund. We all had a great time. We had a lovely brunch in Dublin (at O'Connells) and then time at the park before Mom, Dad and Ian headed south to Cork and stayed at the beautiful Catslemartyr Resort (complete with castle and croquet lawn). Stunning blue sky was the order of the week as we toured the southern coast around Cork, visiting Ballycotton, Kinsale, St.James Fort, the Blarney Castle (where Ian kissed the Blarney Stone, see him being lowered to kiss it in the photos below!), the kids Limelight Museum in Cork, the Jameson Distillery and so much more. It was a terrific time, with beautiful sights to cherish and fun family memories to keep.
