Thanks for coming!

John and I had a wonderful time while Lisa, Mike, Becky, and Justin were visiting this past week. It was a whirlwind week, the time seemed to fly by us, but it was wonderful all the same. While Lisa and Mike began their trip in London a few days earlier, the four met up in Dublin on the 8th where they spent the day walking through the city. John and I picked them up at the airport that night (although a few minutes after the planned meeting. oops!), and began our journey up to Annalong.

We introduced them to our neighbors (the cows and horses in the surrounding fields), the generator (our trusty source of energy), and the love nest (our cosy little garage/house) where they stayed the first night before heading to County Antrim the next day. Friday we spent the day in Carrickfergus and Belfast, and flew to Glasgow, Scotland that night. We spent Saturday on the bus tour of Glencoe, the Highlands, Loch Ness, and Inverness (12 HOURS). Sunday we walked about Edinburgh then flew back to Belfast. Monday was spent in the car, driving four hours to see the wonderful views from Slieve League in County Donegal only to arrive with the fog that lay heavy across the cliffs, blocking the wonderful view. 4 hours later, we were back in County Down for a barbeque at Jim and Mary's.

We crammed so much into such a short amount of time, and had the best time. Well, I know I did anyway. I hope everyone else had as much fun. It was so good to have people over from home and I am truly greatful for their time and effort spent planning the trip. The costs of a trip can be overwhelming, but the time spent with loved ones and friends is worth far far more. Thank you so much for spending your time and money with me. I didn't know how much I needed it, but now, looking back, I can see that I was desperate for the good times and laughter that always come along with our little gang and I will be forever thankful.

I've uploaded pictures. The link is below. There is some beautiful scenary and of course some silly pics of us within it. I hope to see all of you again soon.

Thanks again to Lisa, Mike, Becky, and Justin. I had the best time :)
