Colorful Kinsale, Ireland

Wouldn't it be dreamy to spend St. Patrick's Day in colorful Kinsale, County Cork?















Perhaps one day I'll get to spend St. Paddy's in the old country (yes, I've lots of Irish in me). There doesn't seem to be any big celebration planned 'round here, so this year I'll probably be spending a quiet night at home attempting to make Shepherd's Pie and drinking a couple of pints with Mr. Cheese. What festivities do you have planned for St. Patrick's Day?

This place I must visit. I have SO MUCH Irish in me too! I have such a pulling desire to go there. I have some distant cousins that would be cool to see. These photos kind of remind me of Newfoundland!! That is a place in Canada that would be so cool to move to...its so gorgeous, colorful and everyone is friendly...its like a mini ireland.

The town looks so adorable. I love the colors of the buildings. Ben and I are going to a wine dinner tonight. We're hoping it will be Irish food!

That looks lovely!! B.'s whole family is from Ireland. He talks about the trips that they've taken there to stay with relatives and he has all of these amazing pictures. We haven't had a chance to go recently, but hopefully I'll get to see Ireland soon!!

Although these pics make me want to go today!!
