The third day we went to cork. was about a 2-3 hour drive... completely hung over the entire way there... brutal!

We went to the Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney Stone! :)

We ended the Blarney Castle by wishing on the Wishing Steps...

The Wishing Steps are within Rock Close, you come across an archway of limestone rocks. Step through and you find yourself on the Wishing Steps. You can walk down and back up these steps with your eyes closed – some demand that this be done walking backwards – and without stopping for one moment to think of anything other than a wish, then that wish will come true within a year. So I did this, and we will see what happens.. :P

Ireland

UPDATE On TRIPS:

I went to Ireland in October with a friend. Traveld to Dublin and stayed in Temple Bar at the Temple Bar hotel. The first night we went out we went to the Auld Dubliner... drank lots of Guiness and Jameson.. Woke up w/ a fun headache! :)

Next Morning we woke up and went to see where my grandparents first met which was at a department store called Roache's not called Debenhams... went in had a cup of coffee and looked around... purchased some make up.. .:) Took a picture out front. Very modern, reminds me of a Macy's or a other department store... Weird to think that so many years ago and all the storys we hear my nana talk about that is where the magic happened... :)

Later that day we looked around had lunch at Gallaghers, went back to the hotel and got ready then went to Bono's hotel The Clarence Hotel and had drinks at the Octogon Bar... Drank lots and lots of champayne... super delish!

Later that night we went to the Temple bar where we drank more Guiness, listened to some irish music and people watched! Super fun night!

I had a little too much fun this night and the next morning woke up early and headed to Cork. It was a two or three hour drive...
