Ireland pictures!

As many of you know, Brian and I just got back from a two-week vacation.  We spent a couple of days in New York City with my sister before flying out to Dublin, Ireland for 10 nights.  We had a blast, and it was a much-needed break from our busiest year ever!

Ireland is so different than the busy life we have here.  The shops don't open until 10am and they close by 5 or 6.  Many of the restaurants even close by then.  I'm not sure what they do there, but by the saturation of pubs in every town, I have a guess... 

Much like most boys, Brian was obsessed with castles growing up.  It was amazing to be driving along the highway and see the castles from so far away--many of them were from the 1300s or 1400s, some even older.  We would find the back roads to see them up close and stare at them in amazement (and take pictures naturally).  There is so much history in Ireland.

My favorite town was Dingle--we stayed there for two nights after one of our wedding clients recommended it.  It is a quaint harbor town with vibrant-colored buildings lining the streets.  Honestly, there's not much to do there besides walk around, shop, eat, and drink, but there was just something about it's character that made me not want to move on to the next town!

So here are some of the pictures...once we have them all edited, I will upload them to a larger gallery on our website...for now, here's just a small sampling...
