A little evening serenade in the drawing room of the castle?  Yes please.

Doing as you should do with full moons

After the end of the Network Meeting, we were officially on vacation!  Celebrating with our first real Irish Guiness!

Happy?  Why yes!

Late night snacks

We rented a car to tour the country. Liz drove. Tim told us where to go.  I sat in the back, just like I like it.

Beautiful Galway

Night in Galway

Yes you are.

A little Irish coffee to start the morning right!

You know what's coming, right? You have to kiss it!

Autumn!

I really like this picture.  Kind of creepy, yes.  But still.. cool, right?

Live music in the pubs - what we looked for every evening

Guiness Factory!

The Guiness Factory (no joke) was actually one of the coolest educational experiences I've had in a long time.  I came home inspired about designing interactive education spaces and design thinking in general - whoever created this place is amazing and I would love to work with them someday.

Pouring the perfect pint - I'm even certified!
