40 shades of green
"40 shades of green," is what my dad said after looking through all of our photos from Ireland. Apparently, it's the name of an old song, but it is right on the money. I have never seen so much beautiful green in all my life.
We have been home for two days and I'm still on a high from our nearly perfect Irish holiday. We saw so much in four days, even though we didn't plan much for the trip.
We stayed in the west and southwest parts of the country. The weather was ideal, the food was delicious, the people were grand, the cities were charming and the land was breathtaking.
If anyone out there has ever thought they might go to Ireland, or even if you haven't, it is a worthy goal to get there any way you can!
We would have liked to spend more time there, but we couldn't wait to see Hannah and Jane. When they saw us they were so giddy and happy and they wouldn't stop hugging us. It was everything a homecoming should be.
As much as I wish I could show every photo, it's just not possible at this time. However, I have a good number of images on my photo blog that you can check out.
This morning Hannah said, "Mommy, I want to go to Ireland." I'll be more than happy to take her there in about 10 years.

I'm glad you and Dan had fun. Ireland has always been on my list of places to visit. Perhaps someday, but for now I'll have to live through your pictures. ;)
oh, that sounds like SUCH an amazing trip! so jealous but happy for you, of course! :) i will definitely be taking your advice - someday, ireland, someday!
your pictures look great! though i can't help but wonder if you noticed any similarities to the various colors of green in the northwest? maybe it's different because ireland is an old country with less trees....
glad you had fun!
Wow- what a fun experience! Good for you for taking a trip without the girls and enjoying yourself! As always, the pictures you took were beautiful!
