The Voyage Begins
Sunday afternoon and the kids are so eager to leave that they cannot wait any longer and start walking towards Dublin. Thanks to Siobhan's advice re shopping and the number of bags we would need the back seat was very squashed !! The Irish Summer weather ...
Just a little trim.
Driving aimlessly west as we do when a GPS isn't handy, brought us to a town called Trim. A sweet little town built around a great big 13th Century castle. A bunch of very sociable boys tried to tell us all the ways we could get into the castle for free. ...
Day 2: Glasnevin to Trim - The Hangover Continues!
... , which it did. What it didn’t say is that we would have to go through 4 roundabouts to get there! Apparently Ireland and other parts of Europe don’t use intersections and use these damn roundabout things..... to an American tourist it just ...
Newgrange Burial Mounds and Trim Castle
... place. Next we continued on to the town of Trim to check out their castle. Apparently it's the biggest Norman castle in Ireland, with a very large keep protective by walls on all sides. It remains an impressive sight, so much that it was used in the ...
Trim
... (thank you again Ryan, it's come in very handy!) and bussed our way out of the city to a little place called Trim. A heritage town nestled on the Boyne River in the County of Meath, Trim is filled with ancient ruins (the Trim castle ...
Rain, rain and more rain..
So finally after 4 glorious sunny days, we got to wear our rain gear. It absolutely poured at Newgrange which is a neolithic burial site of 3000 BC that is largely outdoors. But being in the interior and having them simulate the winter solstice with the ...
Off to Royal Meath.
... . There we pick up our Opel rental car for the rest of the trip. We'll have to tell you in person more about driving in Ireland, but let's just say that John now mutters "stay to the left" in his sleep. He is mastering left hand stick controls, but we ...
Oh my God...is that REAL COAL?!
... to the concept of being cold all the time. We just finished cooking dinner and we are finally warming up to the unseasonably cold Irish weather. Could be the heat of the stove or my first pint of Guiness, but Ireland is starting to look real nice, kids. ...
Cathedral of St Peter & Paul
The cathedral and the priory of Newtowntrim, as well as the priory of St John the Baptist. All within view of the Trim Castle. ...
A Castle and Auntie Carmen
... and had a fried egg before we had to leave for Auntie Carmen's house. Auntie Carmen lives just up the road, a little farther from Trim. We brought the Blakeslees, and it was warm enough to sit outside and let the kids run around on the grass. ...
Trim Castle
On our way to Galway, we noticed a cool old castle in Trim, and of course had to stop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_Castle ...
Trim and County Meath
... . None of us did - it was pretty high up there. The castle was built around 1173 - part of it anyway. Ireland's such an old country, especially compared to the USA. Dave said it would be the pits to have to learn Irish history in ...
FREEDOM!!!!!
... is in Trim(!) an hour or so west of Dublin. It was really, really cold & windy! Trim Castle is the largest in Ireland in terms of square footage of the grounds. The actual remaining central structure is smaller than lots of other ...
The Ruins Around Trim
Although I have been to Trim before, it is growing and changing all the time. That being said, I always love to see the castle and other ruins around the ...

Heaven
... dull but this is the kind of thing I spent hours and hours studying for, testing on, and writing about in college. I'm kind of obsessed and to actually see a site like this in person is a dream come true! This was certainly my favorite day in ...
Spooky graveyards...and wart cures!
... eerie! I love cemeteries too! Especially when they are old and spooky! This one was just 5 minutes in the car from Trim Castle. It is famous locally because of the "Jealous man and woman" tomb from the 16th century. There is a ...
Yellow Tower & Sheep Gate
Some additional ruins outside of Trim Castle. The yellow tower from the color of the bricks in sunlight. And the sheep gate is the only remaining town gate outside the castle. ...
A Day of Exploring Things of Old
... GOODNESS! Today has been incredibly amazing as we have been out and about exploring things of old here in Ireland. Today we got to see the ruins of Trim Castle...which is just a couple minute walk from our B&B. This castle was built in the ...
Newgrange
... Dinsmores. Which basically consisted of sitting around in the kitchen, which is how I spent a lot of my time when I lived in Ireland. We left at 4 o'clock because back at the farm we had a date with... the farm! Here is what we got to ...
la furia degli elementi
... originaria. Immagino che dal punto di vista geologico l'Irlanda sia un posto interessantissimo... a capirci qualcosa! L'ultima sera siamo a Trim, paese medievale che ci regala un castello splendido che purtroppo non potremo visitare, una buona cena con ...
Trim Castle
Trim Castle is a 12th Century castle and is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. It was also used in the filming of Braveheart. Nice view along the river Boyne. ...
Trim Castle and Hill of Tara
... had previously taken escorted tours where our luggage and driving was handled by someone else. None of us had ever driven in the UK or Ireland before so this was a first. None of us wanted to do the driving! We let Suzi take the drivers seat & no ...
Two pooped puppies tour Trim
... for a short nap. The weather was very chilly, windy and slightly drizzly. One thing I can say is that in our entire time in Ireland, we never used the brand new, wind-resistant umbrella we bought for the trip! It just didn't rain, it only misted a bit. ...
We have arrived!
... piloted us through the confusing traffic patterns and on the left side of the road without incident. After going through Trim several times, we happened upon our B&B. Went back out, had a lunch/dinner/whatever meal in a little place ...
Genuine Irish Icebox
... take us to buy jumpers tomorrow though so we puny Americans stop shivering. Mom, you will be happy to know I won't be living in Ireland anytime soon. On a happier note, aside from the weather, Ireland shamROCKS! (yes, I said it) The part of the country we ...
