IRELAND DAY 2

The next day we headed off from Dublin driving about 2 hours south to the city of Waterford...where the famous Waterford Crystal is made.  We enjoyed a tour of the factory to watch the artisans and left with a little something to remember our time there.

We rented a large 9 passenger van that ended up working well for all of us - albeit a bit cozy.   3 up front - 3 in middle - 3 in back!

We left Waterford and drove another 2 hours to Cork to visit the famous Blarney Castle.  You climb to the top and kiss the blarney stone to receive the "Gift of Gab".  It seemed to work on the boys as they couldn't stop talking the rest of the trip : )

























This was Halloween...so we had HotelWeen.  We had the kids make their own creative costumes out of what they had brought  and they trick or treated from room to room.  It was a lot of fun.
