We took a train to Cork Ireland this morning to meet up with the guys and we had a really good day even though they were on no sleep.
When we saw them they were all cross eyed and had stale breath.
Nothing too unusual.
None the less they rallied and we visited the Jameson distillery in Midleton, which is right outside Cork.
Poor dad was so sleepy he fell asleep doing anything, riding in the car, sitting down, even mid-bite on his steak sandwich when we went to lunch.
The Jameson distillery was pretty cool, glad we went to see it.
Getting to hang out with dad and the guys was the best, even if it was for a little while.
Driving was pretty scary being on the opposite side of the road but they did a nice job.
I just had to close my eyes a few times.
Taking the train back to Dublin was such beautiful scenery. Another stereotype of Ireland being just farmland with sheep and cows and green as the eyes could see. Yep, it’s just like that. There are cows everywhere just roaming and eating grass with the wee laddies and lassies skipping about in the fields. I wanna say “Hey Ireland, 1885 called, they want their way of life back!” Maybe we should tell them that America has discovered a way more efficient process for raising cows. Just squeeze 500 or so of them into a 10x10 steel prison were they can’t budge, inject them with hormones and feed them corn til they grow bacteria and then feed it all to us! Duh, you’ll make way more money that way. These Irishmen man, they just don’t get it.

Well, this is our last posting from Europe, since we leave tomorrow morning to head back home. :( I’m sad and very happy too. I miss you all and we are getting ready to be home. Love you so much!

Aww this blog made me happy and sad! Happy that you got to see the guys (and the fact that I now know they arrived safely) and sad because its your last blog! I am so excited to see you guys tomorrow and hear all the stories in person. Lots of love
ReplyDeleteWhaaaaat, last blog? What am I going to read NOW???Ohh Shane just said I should read my chores list.... well glad I could "travel" to all those places with you and that you had fun! We want to come visit you guys, so save some italian wine for me :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog guys. But why do people think Frank is a cat? And whats with Jessica? She makes you think shes this sweet little island girl, when in reality she sounds more like an angry Samoan ripping on Teri all the time. Teri we love you!
ReplyDeleteIf you guys decide to hand out awards, I nominate Uncle Bill for his, "O, Teri, I love you so much", comment, with runner-up going to my loving wife (of 9yrs. today) Summer, for having the VERY first comment, and "getting", the Joan Wilder, Romancing the Stone reference. And an honorable mention to my arch-nemesis, Heather. Have a safe trip home, VIA CON DIOS AMIGOS!
Ditto what Rachel said. She said it just how I would have wanted to say it. Ireland sounds beautiful and fun. Billy, you look good. You've been gone so long I've forgotten what you look like. Miss all of you.
ReplyDeleteHi guys it's Sum,
ReplyDeleteMig came in last nite and said this was the last post. So, I got up out of bed (because I now go to bed at 8:00 like a really old person)in honour of the occasion so I could say goodbye. Well after all that... the blogger site was down :(. Now I feel like I missed the bus because you have already left for home. Well I hope you have a super safe trip and we all love you very much. Tiana will be sad this is over as she has not missed a chance to check in. Thanks for going out of your way to put this all together. We have enjoyed it so. That being said....I must add...
Jess - I apologize for my husbands rude racial slurs. You should come visit and all our babies can scream together. Sound fun? It's actually not much different than all those boys arguing in Ireland.
Suzie - I will get you a Joan Wilder romance novel. Much better than a chores list.
I look forward to the next time we are all together. I have a feeling I will have to create a "special Occassion".
Anyone can get first post, but it takes a real winner to get LAST post! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow and why are there no comments!! Especially on the picture of Shawn, Bret & Cory standing like a bunch of girls?!?!
ReplyDeleteLoved the blog, loved the pictures, loved everything, love you!
