We're flying to Ireland on Thursday night, and my heart is full
thinking of being back there after almost 4 years. It's been way too long. Last
time we were there, Lily was only 10 months old, and now she's 5! This is probably
the first holiday that she'll actually remember, which is so cool to think
about. I also can't wait to introduce my youngest daughter to my family, and to
show her where I spent my childhood.
I dug up some old photos
from my last trip a few years ago. Now all I can think about is the way the
sunlight cascades over the horizon on a summer evening, and the way that
vibrant green seems to just leap from the fields everywhere you turn. I'm
coming back this time with a fancy new camera, and I'm dying to get going. In
the meantime, these shots will have to do.

Have a great trip! My mom is from Thurles so I am a grown up version of your daughter, lol. I am sure she will love Ireland as much as I do. Even though I am American, Ireland always feels like home to me. I enjoy your site, thanks for all your hard work. Looking forward to pics!
ReplyDeletethat's so wonderful to hear, Michelle. Thank you! I always worry that they won't feel the same connection there that i do, but i think as long as i keep visiting with them we can maintain that connection.
DeleteAaaaah I cannot WAIT for all the photos. And for Gran to see precocious Lils! I feel as though they may get along. :) Looking forward to pics of N scowling at things.
