Such a Green Island

Dublin is so foreigner friendly! Either that or they just got tired of seeing us getting hit by cars...

Our trip with Norah Grace to Ireland deserves its own post. It was just that amazing. Norah's Gigi and Pop pop flew in to visit with us for a week in Leipzig and got to know their first grandbaby a bit before we all left for Ireland on a week-long, self-driven bed and breakfast tour.

The sights were incredible (rolling green hills and towering cliffs), history deep (intact bodies, hundreds of years old, unearthed from peat and The Book Of Kells, a beautiful representation of the new testament done with calligraphy and colorful illustrations whose creation began in the 6th century), company grand (Norah's first family trip and we are all pretty cool), and food hearty (think meat + potatoes. A lot of potatoes.).

I never knew Ireland was so beautiful. Here you can see where hill after hill has just fallen into the ocean.

Oh, those crazy American tourists.

Mommy, daddy, and baby catching some live folk
music. Norah must have been  listening in her sleep
or something because she loves that folksy stuff now.

Fish and chips. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is about.
My kind of place.


There were a lot of these single lane back roads that cut through the
countryside and saved us loads of time. 



And, in other news, Norah Grace discovered her tongue.
