Ireland, November 07

Recently we were lucky enough to travel as a family to Ireland for a week long get away. We rented a small cottage in Doolin, about 4 miles from the Cliffs of Moher, on the west coast of Ireland. Overall, Sam was a great little traveler and seemed to enjoy all the new sights, smells, and sounds, (i.e. tractors, peat fires, farm animals). At the end of the photos you'll find a video we took while walking in Connemara. It's a little long (3 minutes), and a bit slow in the middle section, but gives you an idea of where we traveled.


A windy day overlooking the Cliffs of Moher.


Strolling the streets of Galway.


Climbing on the ruins of an old abbey in Cong. (Cong is where they filmed John Wayne in "The Quiet Man").


The hills of Connemara.


Chatting with a local farmer.


Sam couldn't get enough of the ever ubiquitous tractor. "Tractor", "bulldozer", and "backhoe" are his new favorite words.


Overlooking Galway Bay and the River Shannon.
