Depending on how knowledgeable you are on Irish history, you may be surprised to discover that Ireland is actually is two different countries. There is Southern Ireland which is just the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.
We took a day trip to Northern Ireland, which included a stop at some of the Game of Throne (GOT) sights. I actually do not watch GOT so that was not the most exciting part of the day trip.
Our first main stop was the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge in County Antrim.
County Antrim easily became one of my favorite places, because of the views. I fortunately, do not have a fear of heights. If I did, this probably would have been a difficult day.
Another key part about this day trip is that I managed to not look like Cousin It in any of the pictures. This was a huge accomplishment for me.
Literally a 10 minute drive from the bridge, is the Giant Causeway. At this point in time, Sydney decided to confess a secret. She announced, "Patterns are disgusting. Like you know, honeycombs those freak me out and make me want to vomit". Well, since we were at the Giant Causeway there were some patterns so she was struggling, but was always a good sport about it.
Until tomorrow's adventure,
Hannah
