Howth

We took the bus to the DART station (train) and then took the DART to Howth which is a small fishing village on the other side of Dublin.  It was a very charming town.  If I was to live in Ireland (which we don't plan on doing) this is where I would want to live.  They had a nice playground, fresh seafood, and a lot of biking and hiking trails.  They had a trail that went all along the cliffs all the way around the town.  If we didn't have the kids with us it would have been a must do thing but the stroller wouldn't have made it.

Below: Hinton and I sitting on the pier, the Eye of Ireland is behind us.  It is a small island that many people were kayaking too.  It was also surrounded by sail boats.
 Above: For lunch we got food from Beshoff Bros, we had fish n'chips of course.  It was really good!  They make their own tartar sauce which was amazing!!!!
Below: Hinton and Brad standing at summit point.  This is where the cliff trail ends up.  We took a bus up to the top and it was freezing but really cool
