It has been about 5 years since I have last been on the island. The previous trip in 2012 was a small idea I voiced during my mom’s wedding in 2011. I was actually joking about a Cannon/McKay family trip at the time. However, when my uncle Don called me in February of the next year, it became a reality. It ended up being a great time, touring Dublin, Cliffs of Moher, and Galway. There was one key place I did not get to see in 2012 due to an impending business trip.
Today, due to another business trip I find myself in Ireland again. I arrived a day early to try and fight jet lag (typing this at 1am Monday morning…sigh). I drove for 2.5 hours from Dublin, through Belfast, and strait to the Giant’s Causeway (50million year old Lava Formation). My mom and uncle had sent me some photos from the last trip so I’ve wanted to see it myself. It did not disappoint!
