Holocaust Memorial Wall and Woodland Park

Took a walk the other day and passed by a Holocaust Memorial Wall in our town. We then went another cool park, which was first made into a cemetery. It was huge and very cool! The dogs loved it!

 This was built in the same place of the Wiesbaden Synagogue that was destroyed in the war. 

 The wall has names of Jewish victims who lived in Wiesbaden. Also included are dates and the location of their death. 

Tomb at the entrance of the park.

 The park had tire swings!!!

I'm just like Jennifer Gray in Dirty Dancing. :)

Happy Birthday Logan!

Today is Logan's Birthday! I got him authentic lederhosen and he LOVED it. Normally, I have a poem or song prepared, but for him I made an awesome movie...or at least I think it is awesome. Happy Birthday to my best friend and wonderful husband!

He is ready for Oktoberfest in Munich!

Trip to Ireland!

Logan and I went to Ireland for our summer vacation and anniversary trip. It was AMAZING! We went to Cork, Dublin, and hiked the cliffs of Howth. It was a fast trip but very fun. It was also a lot colder than I expected...I only packed one sweater and definitely regretted that decision. I guess this is why my ancestors immigrated to Texas. Haha.

First stop: Car Rental! Logan's first time driving on the left side of the road...he was a little nervous. 

We made it to the Blarney Castle!

I look cute anywhere! 

Former living room of the Blarney Castle. 

View from the top of the castle. Amazing!

I kissed the Blarney stone!

Logan kissed it too! We both have the luck of the Irish. Although, I am Irish and already had it so now I have double luck. 

The Murder Hole and Logan imitating the signs in the castle. 

We found this awesome tree in the middle of the property and then we decided to climb it.  

Blarney manor. I want to live here.  

Walk on the lake path.

Cue Irish background music.

And we are done and loved every minute of the Blarney Castle!

Ate and drank at this pub called the Franciscan Well. It is actually in an old Franciscan Monastery. Really cool place!

They also had live jazz music and we ended up chatting with the saxophone player for the rest of the evening. Really cool night in Cork!

DUBLIN! Tour of the Guinness storehouse!

Top of the Guinness Storehouse with our pints and a view of downtown Dublin!

St. Patrick's Cathedral

We couldn't go inside, but were so happy to see the outside structure. It was so beautiful.  

Dublin Day 2!

Lunch at a local pub.

MOLLY MALONE STATUE!

Although based on a fictional character, Molly Malone has the infamous anthem of Dublin! 

Dublin Castle!

Trinity College

St. Stephen's Green

We decided to spend our last day doing a hike on the cliffs of Howth. This is a small town just north of Dublin. We stopped for some local fish and chips for lunch. YUMMY!

Some locals diving off the rocks in 60 degree temperature. 

The views were unbelievable!

The hike was about 3 hours long but totally worth it!

Goodbye Ireland! We will miss you!
