I am currently researching must-see places in different parts of Ireland and i thought i would share my research!
I'll start with Dublin because that is where we are going to be landing. So here goes! (I will write a bit about what it is and why we want to go there... also this is mainly what i want to see as Taylor is at work so i am doing this on my own at the moment... But i'm sure he would really want to see these places too!)
Places We Want To See (Rough Draft)
Dublin
Trinity College and Library
Trinity College and Library was founded in 1592 (So its a beautiful old building) Its the home of over a million books and priceless manuscripts.
We are interested in seeing this because it has been a part of Irish culture for a very long time and It is on many Ireland Travel sights as a must-see!
Guinness Storehouse
You cannot go to Dublin and not have some Guinness or visit the Guinness Storehouse! It is a part of the original brewery! And at the end of the tour you get a free pint at the Gravity-Bar. high above Dublin's rooftops! There is no way you could miss this and we are very excited to have Guinness right in Ireland!
O'Connell Street and The General Post Office
A Beautiful landmark of Dublin, in the center there are many statues and monuments and it is surrounded my beautiful large and impressive houses. It is on the widest urban street in Europe!
The National Museum of Archaeology and History
A museum of prehistoric and medieval Ireland. It must be obvious why we want to see this!
The National Museum of Decorative Arts and History in Collins Barracks
St. Patrick's Cathedral
St. Patrick's Cathedral is Ireland's largest church! It was founded in 1191 by Archbishop Comynand it was renovated between 1844 and 1869. We of course want to see this because it is a beautiful piece of history and in general a gorgeous building and a must-see!
National Gallery
An Art museum housing artwork by, Picasso, Caravaggio, and so many more. A must see if you love art. (which i do!)
Kilmainham Gaol
(I have no idea how to say this!) It is a jail though! Described as one of Europe's most notorious prisons.
Dublin Castle
I have to do more research, but once again this is on the list because it is a must- see by many of Irelands Travel Websites.
Phoenix Park
The world largest enclosed municipal park. There are apparently deer running free everywhere, and there is a zoo to visit, and many historical landmarks to explore.
Maybe i will leave it at that for now... I will be researching ALL day today so i will have more information later! Also i have decided to keep a journal while we are on the adventure and i will post it all on here!!! I got the idea from a blog Taylor showed me of this guy he knows and his girlfriend traveling in south America and blogging along the way. And that is exactly what i want to do to remember this adventure!!!!!
Ok that is all now!!!!!
Have a good day, be safe and stay happy!

Here is my cute kitty!!!!!
