A Week in Ireland

I've been terrible about updating our blog lately... I guess all this traveling and not knowing where we're going to be in a few months time (more on that when we have more information...) has put me out of the mood. But I'll be better about it, I promise.

So, to get on with this particular post...

As I mentioned before, my parents came to visit us in May for a couple of weeks. They have always really wanted to go to Ireland, and I decided I might as well go with them since I barely get to see them and since I don't have a steady job (turns out I had to work a bit on the trip anyway, but at least it wasn't too bad). We went for a week, starting in Galway, then going to Dingle, Kilkenny, and finally on to Dublin.

We had a really nice time, although as always I got a little carsick from so much traveling and had to get a surprise tetanus shot in one of the towns (rusty lock on a door... how annoying). The people were incredibly friendly, the food was unexpectedly delicious, and the music was fantastic (the beer was good too of course). We all left feeling like we could definitely go back and spend some more time there.

We took a lot of great pictures, but here are a few of the highlights:
