I got home late last Saturday night after a wonderful time of adventure and fun.  There's really too much to tell and we'd all lose interest before I was done.  But I will share a few pictures and tell a little bit.  If you want to know more, just ask. 

This is the Dingle Peninsula in southwestern Ireland.  This was our first day in Ireland and we were all hungover with jet lag, but the day was one of the prettiest you could ask for and the scenery was stunning, so it was worthwhile to fight through the sleep deprivation.  Even our bus driver commented over and over about the gorgeous weather.  We could see islands far out to sea (Skellig Michael) and, across the bay, the Kerry Mountains.  The water was as blue as it looks it here and the sun was bright and warm.   

Okay, we've covered...Day 1.  Don't worry, the other days will go faster.  Maybe.  I hope.  You hope. 

John and the kids survived - did very well, in fact.  Sadly, we sent Mom home sick after her week here, but we sure appreciate her help. 

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to go.  It really was a wonderful trip.  And I'm equally glad to be home now with my family.
