Hi guys, Dad and I just read your new blogs. Thanks for the update. Go easy on the Guiness Brittany. We don't want you to come home with any bad habits. Ha ha. :-) You guys look like you are having fun. Ireland looks so quaint. Maybe Dad and I will go some day. Maybe we can go together and you can show us around. We had a good Mother's day. We had a bbq with the family but we missed you guys. O.k. take care and keep us posted. Hey I know it's a ways off, but we need to get your flight number and is it Continental ? Let us know. Love you both. Mom& Dad
