It was Brandon&#8217;s college graduation present and the first time we&#8217;ve all travelled together. I think it went very well \u2013 we&#8217;re happy because we&#8217;re family! When we planned this trip we asked&nbsp;Aunt Pat&#8217;s advice because she is the most travelled out of all of us. She had been to Ireland before and joyfully joined our group to experience it all again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all love to see different places, which works nicely. Brandon and I ventured off on our own a few times but made our way back to explore with Jean (my Mom\/Brandon\u2019s Grandma) &amp; Aunt Pat. My&nbsp;funniest memory is that everyone thought Brandon &amp; I were siblings, so I got to be 23 again for 10 days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/travelling-older-family-members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tips for travelling with older family members<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What made you choose Trafalgar and our Best of Ireland tour? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We went with Trafalgar based on Aunt Pat&#8217;s recommendation as she has toured with Trafalgar several times with my uncle and friends. We picked Best of Ireland because we wanted to see all parts of \u2018The Emerald Isle\u2019: Dublin\u2019s Grafton Street and St Patrick\u2019s Cathedral; the Cliffs of Moher, The Ring of Kerry, Galway, Adore village, Waterford, New Ross and Galway: \u2018The Garden of Ireland\u2019. Blarney Castle Gardens &amp; Westport House were particular favourites, deserving of any bucket-list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/07\/castle-g1709e1704_1280-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"multigenerational travel in Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-870296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/castle-g1709e1704_1280-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/castle-g1709e1704_1280-330x219.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/castle-g1709e1704_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I describe our Travel Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/traveldirectorsally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sally Creegan<\/a> as the encyclopedia of Ireland.

Westport House is a magnificent stately home from the 18th-century with over 400 acres of immaculate grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it was our absolute favourite&#8230; I personally wanted to move in! The local hosts welcomed us like family and offered a delicious fizzy beverage to&nbsp;enjoy on arrival. The guide was absolutely wonderful. Her passion for the place was evident in how she excitedly&nbsp;told&nbsp;the&nbsp;history of Westport House and what the plans are for the future. We even met one of the&nbsp;owners. And enjoyed the tea party very much (everything was so yummy).&nbsp;I loved that we were free to tour on our own too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/07\/Westport-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Westport house (multigenerational travel)\" class=\"wp-image-870284\" style=\"width:975px;height:1300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Westport-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Westport-248x330.jpg 248w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Westport-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Westport.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, we went to Knock to see the Marian shrine and collect holy water, as it\u2019s believed villagers saw an apparition of Our Lady here in 1879. &nbsp;There was even a wedding at the church&nbsp;that&nbsp;day.&nbsp;Something was in the air&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next was a scenic tour to Harrison&#8217;s restaurant, where we enjoyed the most delicious melt-in-your-mouth food. I highly recommend&nbsp;this place.&nbsp;Once we returned to the hotel (as with all the nights before), we went to the hotel bar to enjoy a few drinks with our tour friends.
