[From Going Places]

When In ... Cong, Ireland

Bird_Little Girl.jpgEvery once in a while you find that perfect experience that helps everyone, young and old, connect with a place. On our recent trip to Ireland, it was the Falconry at Ashford Castle that delighted our whole group!  We had 16 family members (ranging from 1 to 70 years of age!!), so finding activities that kept both the whole spectrum of relatives engaged was challenging.  With a castle as a backdrop, though--plus gorgeous wooded grounds, thoughtful instruction, and stunning birds--this experience was a home run!

Initially, I was concerned that it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring the little ones (ages 1 and 4 years), but it worked out wonderfully.
