Kerry to Mayo, Day 11
We start out right on time and in wet weather. Wet or not, it’s a pretty drive. Griffin takes a ten minute bat nap, then enjoys the ride. Into Cork and in and out of rain and brightening skies. Lovely green hills dotted with sheep and cows and horses, divided by lines of clumpy green … Continue reading Kerry to Mayo, Day 11 →

Kerry, Day Ten
Pretty day, and a quiet one for most of it. After some energetic play, JK&G head into town. We plan to go in for dinner later, and I want to get that laundry and packing started. Kat calls in the midst of it to let us know there’s a huge fair in town—mostly Travelers from … Continue reading Kerry, Day Ten →

Kerry, Day Nine
Time to venture out, and to one of my favorite spots. Since the road to Torc Waterfall is especially windy, BW and I switch positions—so I avoid car sickness. Both Kat and I suffer from it, so she’s behind the wheel, and I’m front seat passenger. It’s a gorgeous drive. Some rain, some sun as … Continue reading Kerry, Day Nine →

Kerry, Day Eight
With the weather undecided, I take an at-home day. Some play time for Griffin where he shows his brainy skills stacking cups. His mom and I are duly impressed—with applause—when he discovers he can also insert them into each other. Smart boy! Of course earlier he manages to find a tiny piece of gravel just … Continue reading Kerry, Day Eight →

Kerry, Day Seven
The morning’s beautiful and bright, and off we go. With Kat at the wheel, Jason running GPS through his phone, and BW making sure Kat doesn’t get too close to walls or hedgerows on the right, Griffin and I get to sit back and enjoy the ride. All those narrow, windy roads with the hills … Continue reading Kerry, Day Seven →

Kerry, Day Six
A little treasure of a day as it decides to brighten up and warm up. Kay, Jason, Griffin and I take advantage by heading into Kenmare to knock more shopping out. BW opts to stay back, walk about, take some pictures. Kat’s got driving in Ireland down—and Jason serves as navigator. I have a mission … Continue reading Kerry, Day Six →

Kerry, Day five
On a cool, misty day, we head out with Kat at the wheel. Brave, brave Sir Kat! She handles it while BW navigates and Jason and I share the back seat with Griffin. And handles is so well I can relax and enjoy the view on the short trip into Kenmare. Narrow, shop-lined streets, streams … Continue reading Kerry, Day five →

Edinburgh to Kerry, Day four
Short workout, pack it all up—and we have a LOT of bags with the five of us. We drive out of Edinburgh in a steady rain. The forecast says we’ll land in the same. A short flight, but a long process at the airport. Apparently this airport’s particularly finicky so we’re an hour delayed in … Continue reading Edinburgh to Kerry, Day four →

Edinburgh, Day 3
Lazy, late start today as we have some tired people, and a baby who wanted a morning nap. No problem because, hey, we’re on vacation. Turns out to be a perfect summer day here, warm—bordering on hot!—blue, blue skies with puffy white clouds. When we got out (Kat stayed back to catch up on sleep) … Continue reading Edinburgh, Day 3 →
