Thread: Topic of the Day: Favorite Vacation

My favorite vacation was going to Ireland on our honeymoon. We went for ten days and went south from Shannon, down around the coast, ending up in Dublin, and then back across to Shannon. It was awesome, the weather was beautiful for us, not so much for the Irish. It was like 85 most of the time and they were dying. The look on some of the locals faces when we told them that it was 112 that day back home was priceless. I think some of them wondered if we actually lived on the edge of hell. We got to see lots of ruins and our tour guide was phenomenal with his stories, whether they were true or not who could tell, but he told them so well you wanted to believe them. We say Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney stone. We got to see the Book of Kells up close. The one downside is that Ireland was so well converted to Catholicism that if you go there looking for stuff about Druids or the old mythology it is very hard to find. Other than that, if you ever get a chance to go, I would recommend it.

My favorite vacation was about 16-17 years ago. Went on a camping trip to Woodward Reservoir in Oakdale, California. I swear we had about 20 people on that trip. I still have the callous on my thumb from pitching horse shoes for 3 straight days. Maybe this summer we can organize an MGP camping trip for a weekend.

My favorite vacation was when I was 18, it was the first time I had ever been on a plane. I flew to Portland Oregon with my ex-husband, business trip for him, fun time for me. Anyway, the best part was when we went to McMenimen's pub (yes there is family relation). I got to travel to the different Mcmenimen's pubs, restaurants, brewery, Bed and Breakfast. I had a great time!
