The Emerald Isle, Day 3

On our third day we woke up in a super cute little town called Dingle.  It is the kind of town that I would love to wander about in, driving my husband crazy looking at all the stores.  But, we didn’t really have time for window shopping (insert a smiling Glenn here) and so we hit the road.  FIrst we drove around the ring of Dingle.  An extra bonus was that, for the first time, we actually saw the sun in ireland.  And blue skies.  hizzah.

These are the Beehives.  They are prehistoric buildings that have been lived in for centuries and, to this day, are still waterproof.  









Isn’t she pretty?








See the stone walls? They’re everywhere!










From here we drove to Killarney (apparently there are some amazing sights to see in the surrounding area, but we only had time for the city itself) and then to Cork, where we saw Blarney Castle- but only from a distance.  We arrived 30 minutes after their last tour.  Cork is a nice city though, it’s pretty large and was all decked out for Christmas.  


We popped into a cute pub for a little bit before driving back to Dublin that night.




It’s one of the few appropriate places to hang out with children in the evenings. obviously.



"…you have a baby!….in a bar!" (name that movie)




We’re gonna be great parents one day.
