The Cliffs of Moher

We woke up to sunny skies this past Sunday and decided to take full advantage if it by heading to the Cliffs of Moher.

We were not disappointed.

The first thing you see after crossing the road from parking lot is these little gift shops.

Everything is built into the hills so that it doesn't take away from the natural landscape.  Even the visitor center is built into the hills.  It's awesome.

 And then we got to see this:

The cliffs were breathtaking! 

And these pictures don't come close to doing them justice.

I was REALLY hoping to get a good family photo that day,

but I kind of underestimated the wind. 

Not a good family photo day, but a great memory.

 The other end of the cliffs.

After walking along the paved pathway with a wall along the edge to keep us safe, the kids and I decided to head to the visitors center.  It had started raining and the wind had picked up even more, so there was no way I was attempting to take the kids along the side with no railing or wall to them from falling over the edge.  I knew I had made the right choice when Nate came back with this picture:

 But he also came back with these, which I love.

The Cliffs of Moher will most definitely be on our

permanent list of places to take future visitors.
