Irish Adventures with the Palacios!

It is quite comical that this was written for this post for almost two years, "Coming soon! Pictures and stories of our adventures with Mingo and Fallon!"  So "soon", probably wasn't the right phrasing, more like "Eventually coming!"  or "When I have two weeks off from work..."  Ok so there is no excuse!  I repent!  One of the most worthy of all posts got unpublished, agh, until now that is!

Our wonderful friends, came all the way to Ireland and we had the trip of a lifetime!  The pictures say it all!  I will try my best to capture the week of adventure to keep you as entertained as we were.  Fallon and I didn't know what we were in for as our husbands lived life together, reminiscing of their classic stories, making rap songs with the T-pain app, frolicking through fields and obsessing over baby lambs (oh wait that might have been me and Fal!)  Well you get the point!  So here goes nothing...


Our first day at St. Patrick's Cathedral
Ross and Mingo philosophizing

Trinity College
Best buddies :)


A book always smells better when you're in good company!
Beautiful couple enjoying the rays in People's Park




Unashamedly getting the burn

There are no words...

Heading out of Dublin and marking out our journey to come!



Fallon and I are the luckiest!



As you do in a cemetery
Galway City

Drawing Room at Dromoland Castle


Cards, tea, and friends at Dromoland Castle... It doesn't get any better!
Frolicking on the grounds of Dromoland Castle


A little healthy go-cart competition


Cliffs of Moher





Apparently a music video was being filmed on our ferry ride to Dingle! If only we had known we could have come prepared :)


Lookout point on the drive to Dingle City
Love this girl!



Not to shabby of a view from our room!


Mingo throwing out the vib!


Stopped for a lamb crossing... only in Ireland!

Baby lambies!!!  We're obsessed!



Making our way to Slea Head
Slea Head at Sunset



We made it just in time for a beautiful sunset!







Dingle Bay


We don't want to leave!


Killarney Town


It is only right to have ended the trip at a tea house... These boys look way too comfortable!


Blood Orange Yumminess!


Seduced big time!  Who couldn't resist this face!
Leaping for joy!  We love Ireland and green pastures!  Ross has been stunned by Fallon's extreme enthusiasm :)








Precious friends, priceless memories!  Thanks Mingo and Fallon for sacrificing so much to come and visit us in Ireland!  This is a trip we'll be talking about when we're 80! Love you guys!
