Home Sweet Home

We had a very long day of traveling yesterday but we are home. We flew for 10 hours and then another 3 hours to drive home not to mention the time zone we in was a 6 hour difference so needless to say we were very tired and ready to be in bed!!! We did have a wonderful time in Ireland though. The weather there is just amazing compared to here right now! It was 65 everyday and although it did rain just a bit everyday it was unlike here...it would be a short rain and then the rest of the day was great! I did feel great during the trip as well, thank the Lord!! I felt bad on the way to the airport before flying over there and then I felt bad one other day while there...but it was our longest driving day and the day before was pretty busy. But I was thankful to be able to enjoy the trip.
We saw so much while we were there and of course wished we could have stayed longer...but as always, it was great to be back in America too! Riley said at one point...he was ready to hear some southern draw again! We saw lots of castles and cathedrals and visited many historical landmarks and a few pubs on the way! We loved staying in the B&Bs too...it was a great way to meet all kinds of people. One morning you are eating with someone from Kansas and the next morning someone from Belgium!
Ireland is really just like you see in the movies (to me anyway)...people of all ages riding down the little streets on their bicycles, very friendly people, old Irish men sitting at the pubs drinking their Guiness during all hours of the day and beautiful landscape everywhere you turn. I will have to say I enjoyed the countryside of Ireland much much better than say Dublin. I was not a big fan of Dublin (well especially after seeing the other parts of the country!) I will be posting more about the trip and pictures soon...but for now I have lots of laundry to catch up on!
