The title again says it all - 1 week from today we will be in Ireland! We are so excited for this trip and it will be great to see the country that was home to so many of our ancestors. The first few days of our trip will be spent on the west coast of the country in County Clare. We will be staying at a cute little B&B in a small town called Lisdoonvarna. The plan is to rent some bikes and explore the countryside. Our main destination to explore on this leg of the trip is to find the former home of Dan's Great Grandfather. We know about where it is so fingers crossed we will be able to find it! We also want to make sure we see the Cliffs of Moher. After a few days spent in County Clare, we are taking a train to Dublin where will be staying at an old castle turned B&B. Notre Dame plays Navy on that Saturday and we have a request in to a friend of my Dad for tickets. My best friend and Matron of Honor Michelle Morrow and the Gary family will be in Dublin for the game so we plan on meeting up with them as well. We likely will not know until the last minute if we will have the tickets, but there is a chance we will be able to go!!!!
In other news, it is now less than 1 year until our wedding and we've decided to start working out some more to be fit for that. In the process, we're coming to realize that we really enjoy running! It was unseasonably warm this weekend (90 degrees Fahrenheit) and very humid, but we stuck to our plan and got in a short run both days. Yesterday, we officially signed up for an 8k run at the end of October to benefit cancer, so we will definitely keep everyone updated on our progress with that.
