The Emerald Isle - June 2016

Ireland is a land of unbelievable beauty. It truly takes your breath away. We spent 10 days driving around the entire island. The West Coast of Ireland is absolutely inspiring. From the ragged cliffs to the rolling green hills spotted with sheep, Ireland lets you escape into a place of serenity, peace, and tranquility.


Northern Ireland





Giant's Causeway








Driving to Galway



Such a handsome man






There was no one else on the road. So peaceful to drive around, stop and take pictures, then move along


Watch out for the sheep crossing the road!



The Aran Islands (Inishmore)







Untouched beauty. There are hundreds of miles of stone fences on the islands.


Whatchu looking at??


The trek out to the wormhole






Taking a moment to just be...


Wormhole




Getting splashed!


The view from Dun Aonghasa (fort at top of the island)


You could literally walk up to the cliff. That's a long ways down. Let's just say we didn't get too close to the edge...



The Aran Islands (Inish Meain)

How perfect to see a rainbow while in Ireland! Inish Meain is the middle island, and is much less populated than the other two islands. So serene here.

Nothing but stone fences, some sheep, possibly a donkey, for as far as you can see.



The Cliffs of Moher






The Dingle Peninsula



This path was very steep. Little nerve-racking that we could've slid down the side and into the water very, very easily...but so worth the view!








The is downtown Dingle


The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin



The perfect pint...
