Happy 30-th to me!!!

For my 30th birthday Alicia and I went to Ireland with our friends, the Richardsons, J and Natalie. We flew into Dublin, rented a car and stayed in an apartment. We got there late and got lost cause somebody didn't remember to grab the directions. But after driving around the same block about 20 times we found our spot.

We hit up the Guinness brewery for a tour, tasting and lunch. I got to taste the extra stout. It's amazing and cannot be purchased in the US.

Alicia booked us for a special dinner at the Jameson Whiskey distillery for a fun night of food, booze, music, dancing and singing. Actually, the dancing was left to some wonderfully quick footed Irish ladies and a guy who performed some traditional dances, and a couple of schmucks who couldn't get out of it, I was one of them. Happy birthday to me.


We also got outside of Dublin for a bit and visited the tallest waterfall they've got to offer. If you've been to waterfalls in the states, this isn't going to impress you much. But it was nice to see.
