Senior Trip to the North

On Monday, October 10th the senior missionaries got together to celebrate Canadian-America Thanksgiving. Since we had gone south last year, we decided to celebrate in the north. Elder McBride made reservations at Kockalough Lodge and we had a wonderful Irish dinner together....with no work for us! It was great to be together...old friends and some new ones! We said good-bye to Sisters Joines and Nolan. It was their last day here in the north. We welcomed the Chamberlains who just arrived in Ireland.

Great picture of the mission tie!! Thanks Elder Card!!







Tuesday we headed (for the last time) up the Antrim Coast. First stop Ballycastle.





Scotland in the distant......








Statue representing the children of Lire........








The Chamberlains.............











Boys will be boys.............






I love these "elderly people" signs!











We stopped at the rope bridge but no one went across. Then we went to Ballytoy harbour. The tide was out and it smelled pretty fishy!!!! But it was still beautiful!













Next stop the Causeway.......

















Elder Card on the Giant's boot!


We went to The Nook for dinner and then to Dunluce Castle before heading home, but my camera died......





It was sad to think it was our last time to visit some of our favorite places. But we have so many good memories and fun pictures.......We love Ireland and will miss this beautiful green country.
