I hope you guys are having a nice, relaxing weekend (and you moms are having a fantastic Mother's Day!). I'm spending the weekend working to catch up a bit after Ireland, but I wanted to make sure to share a few pictures of our trip before I got too distracted by other things. We had an amazing 10 days on the Emerald Isle, traveling around the west for 4 days before catching a train to Dublin. We spent 2 days in Dublin and then headed north to Armagh/Belfast as my mother in law (who joined us on this trip!) has family there.
I took a grand total of 3,000 pictures because I can't control myself when I have a camera in my hand, but I managed to sort through most of them and pull a few favorites to post. I would go back in a heartbeat, but it's definitely good to be home!
Adare Manor, our hotel the first night. My husband wanted to kick this trip off in style!
Celtic cross at the Rock of Cashel
A misty, rainy day at Kylemore Abbey
The view from the road to Lough (lake) Mask
Misty horses on the Sky Road, County Galway
The the outside (left) and inside of Dublin's gorgeous mall across from St. Stephen's Green
The Long Room, Trinity College
The Dark Hedges (Game of Thrones!)
Dunluce Castle
Carrick-a-Rede (We actually crossed that rope bridge. I thought death was imminent)
Sheep! I couldn't leave Ireland without a picture of a little lamb:)
The crazy rock formations at Giant's Causeway
The Titanic museum in Belfast. Each side of the museum was an exact scale replica of the ship's bow.
Me and Kevin. Just because:)
Oh my gosh Jenny those are all gorgeous! I really hope to go there some day. Lovely pictures and thanks so much for sharing them!!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, holy gorgeous pictures Jenny^^ I seriously can't pick a favorite, they are ALL incredible.

I'm happy to see that you had such a wonderful trip :) Like you, I would totally have no self control when it comes to taking pictures somewhere as beautiful as this^^ Welcome back!! x
ReplyDeleteThese are fab! I am going to Ireland and Scotland next year and I am so stinking excited. I love seeing everyone's photos.
ReplyDelete3,000 photos, whoa! I'm one of those people who don't even THINK of taking photos during vacations, haha!
ReplyDeleteThe Dark Hedges, ahh! How badass. :) And the Long Room = dreamy. <3 And those rock formations in Giant's Causeway look so epic! Plus the Titanic Museum... Eek! So glad you had a a wonderful time, Jenny!
I'm green with envy that you got to visit the Emerald Isle! The Long Room *sigh*! The beautiful, lush green hills, so cute little lamb! That bridge does look treacherous, thank goodness you survived! You and Kevin make a cute couple. I'm happy to hear you had a lovely time, Jenny! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Jenny, those are gorgeous photos of even more gorgeous places! Isn't digital great? Could you imagine trying to take so many pictures with film. Glad you had a great time. I'd love to visit Ireland someday.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures! Absolutely breathtaking. Didn't you love Kylemore Abbey and Rock of Cashel? I never made it the rope bridge, but plan on doing it when I return to Ireland. Belfast looks incredible as well...definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your photos....I'm glad you guys had a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are stunning! The colors are unbelievable. I really want to go to Ireland someday. I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip and that you were able to take so many photos. If I ever find myself in that sort of scenery I will probably also fill up a memory card with photos! :)
ReplyDeleteokay, you got these photos from a catalog, right? ;-) They are so stunning they don't look real! Glad you two had an amazing time.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I couldn't have crossed that rope bridge under no circumstances! You two are really brave :) Great pics! So glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning photos, Jenny! So many wonderful places you were able to see - I'm so happy for you. I love how vibrant they are, but I also love the misty and old-world feel to the Kylemore Abbey and The Dark Hedges photo. What was it like walking under all those magnificent trees?? And those castles??
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - thanks for sharing :)
Wow, these are AMAZING! The pictures are such high quality (at least to my non-expert eye) that you could make covers from them. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIreland is toward the top of my list of places I want to visit. I've always been drawn there and can't wait until the day I can finally visit!
Did you do a Black taxi tour in Belfast? My friend and I did one and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip.
ReplyDeleteI also had to get a sheep photo when we were in New Zealand. My husband made fun of me for taking a photo of sheep when they're in Montana too, but New Zealand sheep, like Irish sheep are special.
Why are you so cute?

So excited that I finally got to see pictures! I'm swooning over all that old architecture, seriously. It's so lovely. Pinterest, here I come.
YOU TOOK ALL OF THESE? TEACH ME JENNY, TEACH ME YOUR WAYS.
ReplyDeleteWOW, your pictures turned out amazing, Jenny! The colours are so bright and stunning.
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm dying to go to Ireland!! (Not that I wasn't before, you know. Just...more.) And, dang, those pictures are gorgeous! Love how you got the colors to pop and had such interesting angles.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely feeling a little bit jealous here! That sounds like an amazing trip, and I have never been to Ireland myself! If nothing else would convince me, these pictures would. The area looks beautiful and so green <3 So glad to see you enjoyed your stay!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I love that dark hedge, the little lamb, and the misty horses pic! Thanks for sharing and glad you had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteSO gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing these, Jenny! It's funny that we were in the same part of the world at the same time.
