Here's more of the Castle. This is it for the Castle. It was an amazing place to see and experience. I recommend it to all!! I think we need to move the family to Ireland. We can live in Ireland and be a boat ride away from Bergan, Norway. These are my two favorite places!! I know I can get Papa to Ireland and we'll get a summer house in Norway!! What do you guys think?? Should I start working on it???

Sticking our heads out of a window on the top of the Castle!!

Loving it!!

I'm kissing the Blarney Stone!!! They hold you so you don't fall 3 stories!

Papa kissing the Blarney stone. A couple of days later he got a cold and blamed in on the stone and then he so kindly gave it to me!! I love it when Papa shares things with me!

Some more of beautiful Ireland!!

More of the beauty that surrounds the castle

Here's the Blarney Castle in Ireland. It's old and crumbling but it was really cool to climb all through it.

Here's one of the towers. I'm sure some beautiful damsel was locked up here long ago and her handsome knight in shinning armor came and rescued her.

Look at the precious babies on this vase!

Paul and I toasting, sort of, our trip to Ireland and the Waterford Crystal factory!! Next posting will be the Blarney Castle!

Papa throwing an imperfect Waterford Crystal glass into the box to get recycled. If a piece of crystal is imperfect it is thrown back into the refiners fire and made again. All Waterford Crystal is perfect or they won't sell it.
