Cultural Week in Dublin (May 2013)
The girls were off school for a week over May day holiday so we spent a week in Dublin (and Meath) as proper tourists. We visited The National Archaeology Museum of Ireland, The Natural History Museum (Dead Zoo!), The National Gallery, Kilmainham Gaol, Royal Kilmainham Hospital. Phoenix Park, Newgrange, Battle of the Boyne, Hill of Tara and various other interesting places for the week. Girls also spent a full day at Cabineetly Park (best playground in Ireland) although the Hill of Tara was their favourite place.
