Ireland
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
— Irish Blessing
Margaret and Shand loved visiting Ireland for Saint Patrick's Day in 2016. They only wish they had known all the Irish people leave Dublin during the holiday and Americans take over! Nevertheless, they both still had lots of fun and loved their time on the Emerald Isle. Margaret's favorite was her trip to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher. She also was so lucky to visit the county of her Hudson ancestors after making friends with her tour guide and bus driver, who made a detour unbeknownst to the rest of the passengers just for her. Shand's also loved the Cliffs, but nothing quite beats the Guinness Storehouse—and it has been his favorite beer ever since! Bridesmaid Katherine and her husband Evan studied abroad in Dublin and say Trinity College and its gorgeous library can't be missed!
