While Charlotte got into the swing of school life, Jimmy and I headed off to Kinsale, Ireland. The main purpose was to go to the Garden of Remembrance for 9/11, as this was the first year that Jimmy had not been in NY for the anniversary of 9/11.
The Garden of remembrance has a tree planted with a name tag for every NY Firefighter that died in 9/11
We were blessed with (unusually) fantastic weather. Kinsale is a lovely sailing town in Southern Ireland - we stopped here 3 years ago for the day on a cruise ship.
Other activities included a boat trip:
and driving around sight seeing in our nippy Mini Cooper
On 9/11 we spent 4 hours at the Garden of Remembrance, creating a spreadsheet of all of the FF names on, and locations of, the trees for the people that were looking after the garden (to also enable them to see any duplicates and missing names).
