Woodstock, Kilkenny, and Wexford

Today was a very full day. We stopped at three different sites. The first one was Woodstock Manor in Woodstock, Ireland. We just went around the gardens, and it was gorgeous!! Our tour guide (he comes with us to a lot of things) is named Walter, and he is precious. He is an elderly Irish man with a great accent and sense of humor.

I don't know if you can read the sign, but it says "Tea Room"


Candace!


This garden had some really unique flowers.


These are the best smelling roses in the world.


Love these ladies!! This is us with Walter; he was being goofy :)

We then went to Tintern Abbey in Kilkenny. It is not used as an abbey anymore, but there are different cultural events held there.


We were so glad the sun was out for a while!




The view from this bridge was incredible!

The last place we went to today was Hook Lighthouse in Wexford. The cliffs off the cost were by far the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The pictures do not do it justice, and they don't show how big everything was. We were in complete wonder the entire time; it didn't look real. It was also incredibly windy, which you will be able to see by our windblown hair haha.

I really wish y'all could see how big these cliffs are!





I really don't know what we were doing...


Jump picture!! Not sure why I'm looking completely up.


Frolicking!! It's actually very hard to frolic on uneven terrain- just so you know.



We had such a great day!! I am so blessed to have been able to do all of this!! This is such a beautiful country.
