Day 5 - Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough, Powers Court, and Bray Head
Today we drove through the Wicklow Mountains to the coastal town of Bray. On our drive we saw where scenes of several famous movies were filmed such as Braveheart and PS I Love You. We stopped in Glendalough, walked around, saw the monuments: Round Tower, Church, and Cemetery, and then drove to Powers Court, the home of the most beautiful gardens in Ireland. We had a wonderful lunch at Powers Court and spent a few hours in the gardens. After Powers Court we drove to Bray Head, a touristy beach town. Caden fell asleep so we decided to drive through Dublin before dinner.

Day 6 - Day in Dublin
We decided to spend our last full day in Dublin. We ate a nice Irish lunch and walked across the Ha'Penny Bridge. We visited some nice bookstores, bought some books in English, and went to Trinity College. Collin saw the amazing library and Book of Kells. I decided not to go in and let Caden play while Collin walked through. We ended our last night in Ireland with a very fancy dinner. I wish I had my camera. The food was not only delicious but very artistic too.

In honor of U2 - too bad we didn't have time to stop and eat something here
Day 7 - Back to Germany
We went to the airport early this morning and flew back to Germany. We had a great vacation! The Irish people are friendly and the country is beautiful. We'd love to go back some day.
