After a leisurely breakfast at our hotel in Belfast, we drove north along the scenic Antrim coast through small seaside villages, up narrow winding roads through the numerous glens, and with distant views of the coast of Scotland. 

We stopped at the

 Giant’s Causeway for a hike down to the base of the cliffs to see the 40,000 balast columns driven out of earth by volcanic eruptions some 60 million years ago.

We had lunch and dinner at the Bushmills Inn, where we stayed with Dad 20 years ago. Kevin
