Ireland – the collection

It’s taken a couple weeks but finally you can join me on a tour around Ireland. From the streets of Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, Afternoon Tea at Adare and frolicking with sheep on the Dingle Peninsula, I can’t wait to go back!

I realize I’m no longer a child when…

… for example, I am eager to sleep in my own bed after being away for a while. As a child I never wanted the party to end. At sleepovers I was always eager to stay at friends’ as long as possible, for as many nights as we could get away with. Being away always...

The Winn Family (in Ireland)

Of course while I was here, I had to snap a few of Molly, Adam & Brennan. They’re too cute not to!(Click the image to go to a slideshow or go HERE.)
