The furthest we have traveled for a family gathering was to Ireland in 1999. The entire family at the time made the trip, except Alex, who stayed home with his grandparents.

We spent the first week in Killarney. There were side trips to the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula, and for some the Blarney Stone, Aghadoe and Ballybunnion.

A second week was spent in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, the market town for Derrycoosh where the Walshes lived. Again there were many side trips, to Kylemore, Westport, Crough Patrick, Islandeady Relict and more.

Everyone eventually made it safely home, except Dad. The whole trip was planned because he had never managed to make the trip to Ireland. We brought him to the land of his ancestors!

Oh wow. So many changes....I remember the trip so well. What an amazing time. I do miss my Dad seeing him here looking so young too! It's nice to remember though.
