So when we began planning this trip, we were given two very specific instructions.  They wanted to see rolling hills, and they wanted to eat dinner at a pub.  They were also convinced that Ireland is where you see rolling hills -- and since it is about a 40 minute flight from Cardiff, that was a pretty easy plan to execute.

Four full days in Ireland:

Day 1 sites and activities included:

• Breakfast of Champions (coke, crisps and candy bars)
• Newgrange where we were able to go inside a burial chamber -- mom was not impressed by the small space!
• Trim Castle
• Rainbows everywhere including an amazing double rainbow
• Cutest bnb ever in the rolling hills and cows (first item check!)
• Chinese food
   

Day 2 sits and activities included:

• Feeding the ducks
• Cahir Castle
• Swiss Cottage
• Eating lunch at the Shamrock Lounge (second item check!)
• Athassel Priory
• Rock of Cashel
• Hore Abbey
   

Day 3 sites and activities included:

• Driving to Dublin
• Glendalough
• St Kevin's Cross
• Not the best bnb in Dublin
• Apache Pizza
• Famous Temple Bar district
   

Day 4 sites and activities included:

• Ma'Penny Bridge (my Carolyn bridge <3)
• The Rolling Donut (twice!)
• St. Patrick's Church
• Jonathan Swift's burial ground
• Brazen Head which is the oldest pub
• Dublin Castle
