Ireland Part 1

Derek had a great week in Ireland and I wanted to make sure to document his trip! The guys were very busy and saw a lot while they were there. It sounded like an amazing trip with lots of rain, beer, and sheep :)


Flying over the island, and our first stop, The Guinness Factory



Trinity College which is like the Harvard of Ireland but much older, they hosted all of the pregame festivities and pep rallies



Walking down the busy streets of Dublin, and our first Pint in a pub


Walking around Dublin Castle in our 5$ ponchos.  The airline lost our luggage so we survived in the same clothes for nearly three days in the rain!




The official temple bar for which the area of Dublin we stayed in was named.  We spent our nights in the Temple Bar hotel



Thanks to our fancy tickets we got to hang out before the game with free drinks, food, tech gear and traditional Irish Music!



Getting ready for the game to start!





Tech came from behind to win on a last second touchdown!


Happy fans! Dad in his makeshift GT hat since his hat was still in Charlotte


Seth drove us around for the week on the wrong side of the road.  Some of the roads were barely one lane wide.  If his career ever fails he can always be an Uber driver in Ireland



Traditional Shepard's Pie!


We took a trip to the Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney stone!



The town of Cork from our hotel, which was located on an island


The Cliffs of Moher.  A spectacular view that we got a fleeting glimpse at between the fog



We stayed the night in Pete's Castle, more pictures from that soon, but the tub was built into the floor



The town of Clifden



We made a stop by Irelands oldest distillery, Kilbeggan, where they still have a working water wheel
