British Isles: Blarney Castle

2/18/2012

Who dares to kiss the Blarney Stone?

I admit, I visited the Blarney Castle, but I did not kiss the Blarney Stone. We were told that the locals do not like the tourists and that they pee on the stone. It may just be a rumor but I didn't want to risk it!

But I did get several photos. Maybe that will give me the gift of speech even though I didn't kiss the stone!

A Re-Cap of the British Isles

So, I am the first to admit that I get super busy and put things on the back burner. I spent most of the fall editing photos from my trip to the British Isles that I took in August. I compiled all of the photos into a book which I gave as Christmas presents. Now that the holidays are finally behind me and I am caught back up on life, it is time to share those photos with you.

I took about 2,000 photos on that trip. And they were all of amazing places so I want to share as much as possible! So I decided I will do a blog post with photos of each of the places I visited so you can get a taste of what I experienced.

To start out: Here is the Roman town of Bath

I just realized that I never posted any photos from my Orlando and Bahamas trip a couple months ago! Even though it is a bit late, I wanted to chair a few of these. My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Orlando visiting Universal Studios and the Kennedy Space Center followed by a cruise to the beautiful Bahamas.

I Left My Heart in San Francisco

I just realized that I never posted photos from my recent trip to San Francisco. My husband and I took advantage of the week we had before Fall Semester started and took a road trip to California. Ben had never been to San Francisco and I had only been once before when I was 15. It was absolutely incredible! We also did lots and lots of walking up those hills. Wow! What a workout for the thighs!

The Grand Canyon

The beginning of May I finally went to the Grand Canyon for the first time in my life. My husband and I took a nice relaxing trip down to Mesquite, Nevada and took a Grand Canyon bus tour out of Las Vegas one of the days.

Let me tell you, that bus tour was quite a days work. The bus picked us up from the Excalibur hotel at 6:15 a.m. then took us to Planet Hollywood where we officially checked in and got a little breakfast snack (pop tarts). The three hour bus ride brought us to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon which is home to the famous SkyWalk. Unfortunately they do not allow you to take any cameras onto the SkyWalk which was quite disappointing for me! So there are no SkyWalk photos but I do have many of the Grand Canyon and its greatness! We explored Eagle Point, Guano Point, and a little Indian Village.
