This summer we had three weeks of vacation in Ireland with family. We went shortly after the kids got out of school and of course being Ireland, you can never be too sure of how the weather will be. Daniel asked if I thought it would rain while we were there, to which the answer was almost certantly. Anyway it wasn't too bad, we really had only one bad day when it rained almost all day and it was horizontal rain! We got to do quite a lot while we were there, took the kids swimming a couple of times, to a movie, visiting friends and of course lots of shopping to take advantage of cheaper clothes prices. We stay with my (Ivor) parents and it was nice to be able to relax and spend some nice time with them. my sister and her family live right next door so the kids were able to spend lots of time with their cousins play football, riding bikes and of course the trampoline. My dad had got our old car back on the road, it had been sitting there for two years since we were last home, but it ran great and we managed to put over 1000 miles on it in the three weeks we were home and we never went anywhere that was more then 40 miles away. The last weekend we were there, the whole family came to visit and it was great to see them all, we had a great time together, went out for a meal all together, took family photos and just spent a really nice afternoon sitting around our parents house talking. The three week went all to quick, but it was time to head home and I had only a few days at home before I was off on another trip, but that's another post.
