6 Weeks in Ireland

December 15, 2015 By Julie

Overview Chris and I spent a total of six weeks in Ireland: three weeks on our own, one week hiking with a friend, and the final two weeks sightseeing with family. It was a fantastic trip and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but was it “perfect”? Nope. Here’s a taste of lessons learned…

Princess Fiona and Dunluce Castle

August 30, 2015 By Julie

After walking over 12 miles in Belfast a couple days ago (RunKeeper kept track) I was looking forward to an easy-peasy day on Rathlin Island. How challenging could it be? The highest point on the island is 477 feet, and we rented bikes to help us zip around even quicker. Oh boy, me and my…
