Youghal (pronounced Yawl)

We went to Youghal a couple of months ago but the pictures never made it to the blog.  I want to share as much as I can so here is the gist of it.
Our trip to Youghal was fun and short.  On our way back from visiting Blarney we decided to take a detour over to Youghal and see a small part of the Atlantic. 
One of my favorite things about Ireland is the many small villages.  They are full of friendly people, and old world beauty. 
Our first arrival there was to the local Petrel Station to get some soft-serve ice cream cones.  If I haven't mentioned it yet, Ireland sales soft serve at almost every "gas" station and it is delicious.
With ice cream in hand we then drove to the town of Youghal.  Our first site was the typical Irish town with beautiful little colorful homes alongside shops and people walking along the streets. 

Below is some sites we saw while arriving into Youghal



 
The coast line was beautiful and we really enjoyed wandering about.  Tatar-Tot had a blast looking at all the colorful rocks.  She is our little rock hound and so it was a real treat for her.  She also had a few moments of squishing her little hands into the wet sand and then trying to put wet sand on us.  She just giggled and giggled.

Babby and Tatar-Tot had fun looking for seashells which are very easy to find here.
 
 

 
Spending some quality, sibling time together.  Although they do fight on occasion they are best friends.
 
 
 And the last of our pictures from this day.
