What we REALLY did

 

 Note: this was strictly for posing purposes. No underage drinking took place on this journey :)

Bangers and Mash, crowd favorite.

 MMM Irish Beef

Dublin, where the Craic is Mighty!



Last of the Harms Shenanigans

The remaining days of the trip were spend in and around Dublin. We went to Malahide to an awesome park and to check out the castle while Kevin and Tim hit the golf course. The weather conditions were not ideal for either of the 2 activities, but everyone had fun (most of the time) regardless.

 Everyone enjoyed the zip line swing. Weee....only ONE person enjoyed the rain.

  After that experience, we all dried off and headed to a nice warm pub...and got our hands on this hat!

 Souvenir shopping is exhausting...our chariot awaits.

We chose the windiest day ever for a trip to Howth.

 Got our chill on in Octopussy's...definitely make a return visit there. SO tasty.

 Like I said, windy.

The two headed monster.

Dad being one with the Garda.

Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains

The crew, minus Kevin...he had to return to work, headed for a day trip to the Wicklow Mountains. It started out as a very nice day, but the higher we got the thicker the clouds, until ultimately the clouds opened and poured on us. The clouds did make for some cool pictures though.

 Spotted...the red beast through the haze.

 The Guinness Lake...complete with the creamy top. Fitting for the Guinness estate.

Cutie on the mountain.

Old Head Beach

Fish and Chips in Killybegs. Killybegs...what a fun name for a town!

Amber and Max in a little castle cubby...Bruno even got to come!

Last stop at Donegal Castle before making the journey onward to Westport.

 Outside the hotel window. It was a really cute place.

 Spotted this unique machine in the bar.

 Looks like a great day to go to a beach, right?

 Toot toot Beep Beep!

 Tire swing....photo shoot. GO!

 Meanwhile......

Max is on a beach...rain or shine, sun or clouds a beach makes this kid happy. Kevin and Tim are in the background playing frisbee and

 Dad is taking steps down into the Atlantic

 and mom is gazing off again!

 The mysterious rope....what is it connected to??

 Something big, whatever it is...

Or just rope. Stuck in sand, connected to nothing. A bit disappointing, but at least we found out. Super Sleuths.

And that completes our time at the beach. A good time had by ALL.
