Day 13: Dublin and Wicklow

Today we ventured out of Dublin on a bus to see Glendalough, a national park about an hour outside of Dublin that surrounds a monastic site where St. Kevin lived in solitude and eventually established a relatively large monastery in the 10th century. The natural surroundings were beautiful and the stone structures were impressive. It was snowing and hailing while we were there so the kids had a blast throwing snow balls and playing in the slush and snow. We got back to the city around dinner time and made dinner at home. Then Ian literally climbed the walls! Tomorrow is our last full day in Ireland and we plan to hand out in Dublin and see a few more things.
