THE LUCK OF THE IRISH

St. Patrick's Day and anything that has to do with Ireland has a special place in my heart.  We got engaged in Ireland back in 2004 and what a wonderful trip it was!  We got to visit Dublin and stay at Bono's The Clarence Hotel, we rented a car and drove up the Antrim Coast to visit Belfast in Northern Ireland, we got engaged in the stunning Ashford Castle in Mayo, and rounded out our trip in the Dingle Peninsula and Galway.  Needless to say, it was absolutely amazing!    Ireland is such a beautiful country with warm, friendly people, good food, and such pretty greenery everywhere.  I can't wait to go back to Ireland with the boys one day.  This year, we spent our holiday eating green bagels for breakfast at the bagel shop and having my home-cooked corned beef and cabbage for dinner.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!

And may trouble avoid you wherever you go."
