Brandon’s Trip to Ireland

I would say I was born with luck. Being born on St. Patrick's Day starts you out on a pretty good note. That luck really came to fruition when I had the opportunity to spend St. Patrick's Day in Ireland back in 2009 and 2010.

Now, I've actually had people argue with me that Ireland doesn't celebrate the holiday. They treat it like almost any other day. I beg to differ. I got to go twice. And here's my proof that they go all out for the holiday. Almost the entire city of Dublin shuts down, except of course the bars. They have a big parade, and everything is green. Sláinte!
