The Summer Trip to Ireland, Monkstown, Co. Dublin, Ireland - 9th August 2019

It's the first day of our two week trip to Ireland, which mostly involves getting there, with a stop over in the Welsh border town of Mold on account of driving to Holyhead to get the ferry to Dublin Port. When we land, we head out to Mao's in Dun Laoghaire with Da Gorls.
