The last month has been a busy one, and I'm just now catching up...... After returning from Oktoberfest, we had to recharge the batteries with a weekend or two in town. One of our first destinations was the Irish National Stud in Co. Kildare. Ireland has a racing horse obsession, and the National Stud is a state run breeding operation that houses some fairly high dollar horses. Luckily, we showed up right on time for the tour, which was really worthwhile (makes the visit)! We got to see the 'teaser's' quarters, the breeding arena, and some of the racehorses. The grounds of the National Stud also include a Japanese Garden and Tea House/Cafe which were both really peaceful and gorgeous, and made for a nice afternoon. Afterward, we made a stop in to Kildare Outlet Village and nearly bought out the Nike store (yes, we're perfectly American). Some photos here
