Glendalough and The Jackson's come to Dublin for a quick visit!!

Our friends Justin and Marisa Jackson came to Dublin to visit. They live in Frankfort, Germany and are living/working abroad for a few years just like us! Shaun and Marisa grew up in Huntington Beach together and Justin grew up about 5 miles down the road from me in GA! Crazy!

We had a great time while they were here! And Marisa came ready and raring to go with her own itinerary which was awesome!! Saturday morning Shaun cooked a traditional Irish Breakfast, which anyone that visits us WILL be getting an Irish Breakfast cooked by Shaun as that's his thing :) Then we went out about 25 min outside of Dublin in the Wicklow Mountain area to a place called Glendalough.

You would've thought we were 5 hours from civilization...we saw sheep galore, a 6th century Monastery, and went on a great hike! Here's a few pics of Glendalough. On Saturday night we had to show Justin and Marisa the best pubs in Dublin to get a pint of Guinness, we listened to an all girl band rock out with violins to some classic music (they were actually really good!) And then we ventured over to Temple Bar area which is the ultimate American tourist trap but had a great time and learned an Irish saying..."Don't be so bent!"

Justin and I also found out we have a shared love for Cadbury Eggs! Which you get here in Ireland every day...not just around Easter!!
