Happy St. Patrick's Day

I grew up loving St. Patrick's Day because I always had the dream of visiting Ireland someday. Now Jason and I were looking back at our pictures from Ireland and suddenly St. Patrick's Day means a lot more to us. If you ever have to opportunity to go to Ireland, I highly recommend it! We will tell anyone that it was the most beautiful country we have ever seen. The fields, the mountains, the history, and the people are all aspects of the country that make it irresistible. We pulled off just a few of our favorite pictures from Ireland that you might have an idea of how gorgeous it is there.

We are standing in front of the Kilkenny Castle, one of our favorite towns we visited on the whole trip. This is St. Patrick's Cathedral that can be found in downtown Dublin.

Here is Jason standing in front of the Cliffs of Moher holding his lucky clover he found. Did you know that St. Patrick used the clover to teach people about the trinity?

Here we are in Northern Ireland dangling over a long drop to the ocean on this old rope bridge.

Here I am looking out of a window from inside the Waterford Castle where we stayed the night. How often do we get to spend the night in a castle? Being in that caslte and the town of Waterford was probably one of the best days of my life and I will never forget it.
When Jason presented the idea of going to Ireland I knew that he was doing it because I had always wanted to go there. He truly made one of my dreams come true and I can only hope that I can take him where he has always wanted to travel.
P.S. If you want a good song to listen to for St. Patrick's Day, listen to "Irelands Call" by Celtic Thunder. Celtic Thunder is an amazing group of men that have the vocal power of an entire choir and is one of our favorite groups. I listen to this song all the time and it gives me chills!
