Dental Select took us on a trip to Ireland at the beginning of this month. Ireland was so beautiful...I didn't know that there were so many shades of green until I saw this country!
On May 6th, Rick's birthday, we drove all around the Dingle Peninsula. I was just amazed with all the gorgeous views. 
Ireland has lots of farmland with sheep and cow. The Irish people were so nice and hospitable.
That evening (in Killarney) we rented bikes and went on a fun hike up to the Torc Waterfalls. I think Rick would agree that this 31st birthday was his best ever.
We also got a boat tour of Killarney Lake and to see the Ross Castle.
On May 8th, we visited the Blarney Castle. Rick had fun searching in every room of the castle:
National Geographic says kissing the Blarney Stone is one of the top 100 things to do in your life...we only have 99 more to go! (The nurse in me tried not to think of the many germs it has!)
The AMAZING Cliffs of Mohor (or also known as "The Cliffs of Insanity" in Princess Bride).

Dromoland Castle built in the 16th century.... (now functioning as a 5 star hotel). We're so grateful that Dental Select arranged the accommodations because we probably would have been in a Motel 6! We stayed in the very top room of this tower ...I felt like Rapunzel! It was so fun.
We had to dress up in formal attire to dine in the castle...and we thought prom days were over! 
Welcome home and back to reality: 
Although the trip was amazing...there is no place like home with our two little sweethearts. Thank you, Grandma & Grandpa for taking such good care of them while we were away!
