First Taste of Ireland

Jonathan's parents came to Scotland to visit us this past week, and since the kids had a four day weekend, we took a trip to Ireland. It was an interesting experience taking our car over on the ferry. The ferry ride was only about two hours and it was a little unnerving as the water was a bit choppy that morning. Surprisingly it didn't affect the smoothness of the ride too much and we arrived without any motion sickness issues (Phew!).

After leaving the ferry, we drove along some winding and very hilly roads. The kids were enjoying the stomach dropping sensation and raising their arms as if they were on roller coasters. As we were making our way to our first site, we were driving along the coast and found a great place to stop for a picnic.

After lunch, the kids enjoyed roaming around the coast. Alyssa, Devon, and Grandma discovered a section that was covered with caterpillars. You had to be cautious of where you walked to avoid stepping on them.

The views were amazing. It was a bit chilly, but definitely worth the stop.

More photos to come in the next few days. We spent time in Port Rush, Dublin, and Belfast. So many pictures to share!
