My husband's clans (Murphy, O'Reilly, O'Regan, Sullivan, etc) came from mostly County Cork. Those that emigrated boarded ships from where you stood. We went over for a visit from New Hampshire in 2010, and found it quite emotional. We also found the Irish to be extremely welcoming and helpful. We broke down in a remote area one afternoon, in pouring rain. A retired couple came upon us, and brought us into their home. We were served tea, offered food, and helped us get a service vehicle. It was one of the best memories of our trip.

My ancestry is similar but I'm Australian! Can't wait to get back there one day. I love how many Irish people are spread out all over the world. They are so kind and friendly

My Grandmother was the first born American Irish-American in her family who's parents immigrated from Ireland to the USA. She was always most proud of her Irish roots. She tried to teach me, as a younger-self, to dance the native Irish Dance but I was a bit of a wayward student and never took to its complex footwork. She, on the other hand, danced it beautifully. I am the 4th Generation of direct family women to wear the family's Ring 💍 as her mother, herself, her daughter and now me wearing it. Those slow moments of one's life is the bedrock of the Ireland her family loved and always held close to their hearts. You both are no doubt seeing that firsthand in your Ireland travels.

oh man i felt that hug at 17:07!! As a mama of two, i know what it means to need it...and to get it from a good Daddy/Partner who GETS IT! Well done, the pair of you! 💖💖

I want you to know that you two had me in hysterics in the beginning and I was laughing right with the two of you. I live alone in an apartment and I am sure my neighbors think I have lost my mind in her laughing all alone. If I get told of my uncontrollable laughing you two are to blame. All the talk about the 70's and the smells had me rolling. Love where you are parked and how beautiful it is in the little town..Thanks for the laughs. I needed them.

That is unexceptional! Mold can be deadly! Stay safe guys ❤ U

Loved this one… maybe as a throwback to a past where the four of us explored the world and did family things without fully appreciating how sacred that time was. Kids are now in their thirties, divorce upended a 35-year relationship in 2019, and this month marks the first anniversary of my ex’s passing. By its very nature, life shows us joys and sadness, whenever it damn well pleases. You Beans consistently show love in action. You both make YT infinitely more engrossing than scripted TV.

Have you two thought about going to a motor home rental place and trying different motor homes to see which type or size that would suit your needs?

My Mom was from Ireland. Kellygorden Donegal. I was able to take her there. Meeting cousins she hadn’t seen since the end of the war. Just beautiful time and country.❤️ Enjoy your time in Ireland.

Boy oh boy do I have the low down for you! My wife & friends spent 10 days drving around the ENTIRE COUNTRY! 1. The big Titanic museum (in Belfast) is nice and all but we preferred the much smaller one in (Cork). This was the last stop of the Titanic before it sunk. 2. DO NOT go to the Blarney castle (locals pee on it) Instead go to Birr Castle. AMAZING grounds with a CHILDRENS play area! Plus you can tour the castle and they have secret passeges. 3. Cliffs of Moher. This is a MUST for any visit to Ireland. However, DO NOT take the tourist route $10 each. You want "The Burren Way" also known as the Clifss of Moher Coastal Walking Trail. This walking trail "Free" a small donation is suggested and you get way better views w/out all the tourists. (Great for filming). Anywho, I could tell you 10 more things. Love the channel. Thanks for the great content.

Barney Castle is for sure overpriced for what it is, but you shouldn't believe everything you hear about locals peeing on the Blarney Stone

It is lovely to see you with more space for this adventure. Noah definitely needs more space now that he is crawling and getting more mobile every day. I found this stage was the hardest to travel with my son. Once he was up and running it was so much easier in many ways. I do hope you contacted the company you are renting from and that they arrange to have that cupboard cleaned and ready for you to continue your Irish adventures.

One of my favorite things about the Beans is the laughter!

Great video guys! So glad you are enjoying your Irish adventure and thank you for your very respectful comments on a very emotional period of Irish history. Keep going Beans!

Love that you gave Emma a few hours to sleep Alex ❤. We were in Ireland in the fall of 2019, and we just returned a month ago for our 2nd trip. Like you, we feel like the Irish people are so incredibly friendly. We actually think that's our favorite thing about Ireland, and well then, let's add all of the beautiful countryside, towns & the GREEN! Stunning! We have based ourselves in the Killarney National Park area both times, there is so much to do there. We have been to Dingle, the Cliffs of Moher, Belfast, Causeway, Dublin, Kilkenny, KInsale...all lovely. I think you might really love the Wicklow Mountain area as well. Wherever you choose, you will be met with Irish Hospitality! Enjoy. - Coreen

Lots of the post boxes you can see on our island were installed in the late 1800s they used to be red back then as they were installed by the British, once Ireland became independent they were painted green to match the colours of an post (pronounced on pust) meaning post office in Gaelic. cá bhfuil oifig an phoist (pronounced kaw will offig an fisht) (where is the post office) ;) P.S. hopefully this will cover your parking for the night!

Aw thanks so much for the extra info! And of course for the tip 🙏💛 much appreciated!

I'm not sure why you guys don't have one million subscribers; so many people are losing out on the hilarious content you guys provide. I adore it to pieces.

We toured the West Coast of Ireland in our camper van in May this year. Three weeks of sun unbelievable!! We started in Kinsale beautiful plus start of WAW. The coastline is stunning, the friendliest people you will ever meet. So many wonderful places to visit, Doolin great, near cliffs of Moher, Achill Island, a drive through the gap of Dunloe, Healy Pass, so many astounding places to see. The Dursey Island cable car wasn't open when we visited but I believe is open now looks great. You need to get yourselves a blanket to hang over the front window!!

Thanks Emma for showing me that we can think differently but still be on the same track. For Alex it was a no brainer to get a bigger van but you needed to see it to come to the same conclusion. Two different ways of living life in your heart and mind, two different ways of processing experience into the moment at hand, two different ways of applying logic to circumstance two different ways of seeing the world at present but always coming to the same unity of conclusion. Your love and respect for one another is what makes it all possible. Thank you both.

This got me a tear in my eye remmbering back to when my daughter was a baby... The years have flown she will be 32 at Christmas and always my baby. This vlog is the most authentic glimpse into what moving from a couple to being a parent is like... It is bloody heard work, totally exhausting but the most joyful adventure. I encourage the slower days having what I used to call a loose goosey plan as those when you look back the most magical. The Swans visited to say you have got each other for life.. Warm hugs 💜🥰💜

why was the sweetest video ever🥹 made me tear up when you hugged after Emma’s nap😭 you’re both so supportive of each other, it’s beautiful!!💜💜

Nice seeing you all in a larger van. Noah needs more space. He is very active and what a cutie pie. Continue your journey and be safe.

Born and raised in Ireland. Was so lovely watching this video and also having people understand a little more about the country and the history. I would highly recommend The Ring of Kerry. Epic views and a stop off in Dingle is a must! Wild Atlantic Way is a coastal drive from south to north and it is pretty magical. Have a wonderful trip!

I don't know why u guys aren't at 1mill subscribers ..so many ppl are missing out on the awesome humor u guys share with us. Absolutely love it ❤

I know you’re a travel channel but really I think your relationship makes the channel. You two so obviously enjoy each other’s company and laugh all the time. I want to be that happy😉

You three are such a great team! Love your videos and your life! Noah is such a sweet happy boy ❤

Just love you guys dearly. You’re such a fantastic couple with the cutest little boy. He’s growing so fast. This journey was so sentimental and touching. No matter where we are from we’ve all experienced pain and suffering and yet we are resilient. As always, be safe out there

Haven’t been to Ireland 🇮🇪 but you do need a bigger camper. Even for the Summer as well. As you’d said” he is getting bigger and becoming more active and will continue to as well. You all deserve it. Just think a new life experience to make new memories in a bigger rig.

Thank You Beans - Little Bean growing fast & looking very cute! :)

We used to have a 26 foot camper that was supposed to sleep 6. I can only say that after a week, you'd kill at least 4 of the people just to get elbow room. The camper was a "C" class van on a Ford chasis. It got about 9 miles to the gallon providing you didn't climb any mountains. Also getting the van to be balanced when parked was a challenge. Hang a sheet across the front for privacy. You've got a curtain rod across the front, but no curtain. I was in Cobh in July. I thought the Titanic museum was good. The park was lovely, but it was considerably warmer than you're experiencing. It was a lovely little town. Cool trip so far. If you go west, definitely go toward Bantry and Glengariff. Beautiful country.

I love how much Emma laughs at Alex's jokes. Wish I could be that bubbly!

Traveled to Waterford Ireland for work and it was such a blessing. The city is filled with artists that create the WATERFORD WALK of WALLS murals. Remarkable!

Doesn't the toilet flush from the button below it on the right?, A spare sheet will act as a curtain for the front can and you can wash the mould off the saucepan with some boiling hot water and some detergent. Very surprised you didn't check the van over before you drive it off knowing you have previous cargo on board. Campervibe are in Ireland at the moment and found some great park ups in the last 3/4 weeks if you're looking for some cool places to visit.

Yes, disappointing to rent a camper not prepped and cleaned well and fit for purpose. Mold and mildew are serious issues, especially with small children. I would want a discount on returning it. Would be nice to cook in that bigger space and see how you like it. Love your videos and coming along no matter what you do. Thank you for the pleasure.💗

This is such a gorgeous video, the hug Alex gave Emma after her nap was so sweet ❤ So glad that Ireland is treating you well, looking forward to seeing more of this trip! Failté!

Loved this latest video. Great to see little man starting to come out of himself more too. You should all go to visit Westport House in County Mayo. It is the family home of a real life female Pirate Queen - I’ve been there myself and it’s an amazing place, fantastic house and estate grounds - even has the burnt singed flags from her wooden galleon battleships hanging at the incredibly beautiful staircase as you walk up them. She was not a woman to mess with and she even raided the English parliament houses back in her time.

The giant CCTV sign behind you at the end was a nice, subtle comedic touch

Welcome to Ireland! Céid míle fáilte! So lovely to see you here. My kids were so excited! We are a family of 5 from Dublin. Recently bought a converted T5 pop top. Your videos have inspired our travels and we all love watching you. Thanks already for the tip for camping in Cobh. Thank you for sharing your wonderful content with us. You do such a good job. Have a wonderful stay here!

love it when the top bunk started to bend and a take on a slight banana shape as you climbed in.....it held!

Alex is looking very handsome with his tired weathered look.

Ireland is beautiful. My family is from Drimoleague where Castle Donovan stands today. Thank you for sharing your trip.

I would have never expected to see a papa John's in Ireland. You made that camper van sound ancient, but it appears to be from the 80s. If that is ancient then I am prehistoric 😊 enjoy your travels.

Why wouldn't you expect to see a papa johns in Ireland

Big van, big steering wheel. Like flying on a kite? You two (and three) are so down to earth. You have had mice, bugs, mold, fire. Van life is a little warfare and you guys handle it well.

I have been to Ireland. I fell in love with Wexford, and going around the coastline. I am not a huge fan of big cities. But I recommend the village pubs for food, entertainment, and to meet and talk with locals. They will always give you great tips on where to go and explore. You don't get that in cities so much.

I’d love you to travel to Donegal and show off the north coast. Everyone knows the south but the north is what captured our appreciation. Lovely people everywhere in Ireland for sure.

I'm feelin' pretty good about a larger camper, lol. I don't know about you, but I need a bit more elbow room 😅

You've got yourself a good man there Emma . I hope you all enjoy Ireland and have lots more heart warming encounters with lovely people . Loved this video . ♡♡ Especial the hug . 🤗

And, Emma a good woman😊

Love watching you two and the happiness you share together with your little one. You will find outside the big city no matter where you travel in Ireland the friendliness and welcome you will receive will be second to none for sure. One of the most beautiful parts of Ireland and possibly friendliness is the south west counties of Kerry and Cork. Stay happy and keep smiling, massive hugs Mike.

I just have to say, you three satisfy my wanderlust ❤ Thank you….keep going

This video really shows the realistic experience of being a parent

Why on earth did you not look at the van a bit better. You would have then seen all the mould. Cobh where you are now is one our favourite park ups. Take a walk into the lively town of Cobh. It’s last port of call for the titanic. For the front you could hang a blanket for privacy. Love you three. 💕☘️

The sleeping schedules get better as they grow!! Hang in there!!! 💕

Never been to Ireland, perhaps next trip to Europe, however I work and live amongst Irish people and they are the most pleasant and generous people. The town is really beautiful I can only imagine in the summer. Noah is the cutest and most wonderful baby and very lucky to have crazy parents like you two. 🐕🌴🐊

West Cork is beautiful, Kinsale is a must see x

We loved Ireland. Stayed in a place called Eyries on the Ring of Kerry. It was so beautiful. That’s where we saw coloured houses as far as the eye could see for the first time. It’s an Irish thing. Loved the retro van. But bigger is better. We have an auto trail Cheyenne and it’s big enough for hubby and me, a Rottweiler and seven parrots ! Enjoy Ireland.

Thanks for visiting. Loved the video. 👍😊💙🇮🇪🇬🇧

I really love your travels and watching Noah crawling around. Live on all of you. Love it.

Before you even mentioned the camper, I was imagining how it would have smelt! You were both very, very brave!! I worked in a touring theatre company, and in the summer of 1989 we did a tour of Southern Ireland and a few days in Northern Ireland. The south coast is wonderful, Cork is a great city, but beyond, the coast as I recall was stunning. We also went north to County Leitrim which is more like Scotland. We has a large converted ambulance that slept six of us, although we stayed in B&B's during the week, only using the tour bus at the weekend. It was a six week tour and still remains a great memory. We did have the bus broken into in Dublin though which was a real pain. South West is the place to go though, although I am not sure what it will be like this time of year!!

Yes I was born in Ireland, moved to the USA in 93. I enjoy your videos 🍀

When our first was a few months old I agreed to take her for a walk at 2am to give mum a break. I was walking the streets and went past another dad doing exactly the same thing. We both just nodded at each other.

Met some Irish students whilst at university, and was invited over. Had a couple of nights in Dublin, Kilmore, Cork and some smaller towns, travelled by bus, back of a van etc.... The place is beautiful, the people are so friendly and up for a giggle. The smaller towns were great, there was a closing time Bell, the front door got locked the curtains closed, then the honesty bar opened, everyone was trusted, and everyone respected it enough to pay too. Magical times.

Alex looked so tried after the 3 hour walk then sitting out side waiting for Emma. Your baby is beautiful, up and about now. We use have a van with same layout. Think you may be smaller bed because we use to have 5 of us on there. If the is a hired van you should complain that was not cleaned and no curtains just put a towels up a sheet or blanket for privacy.nice calm video

I loved road tripping around Ireland. Dingle and Doolin where my favorite Places.

Ireland is just beautiful. Thanks once again for an excellent adventure.

I lived and worked in Ireland for a year in County Kerry 🙂 I can highly recommend travelling around the ring of Kerry and also round the Dingle peninsula. Then up the coast to Galway.. you won’t be disappointed!

I would just wash the heck out of the utensils. I am allergic to mould. That should get rid of the smell also. Throw some pillows in the front glass so noone can see you. Love the camper. It looks amazing. Irealand is beautiful. Incredible, friendly people. I love every inch of Ireland. Great video.

Amazing hubby vibes around 17:00 🥹

That's so much more family friendly! ☺️

Many years ago I visited Ireland it was so very welcoming and one of the best holidays I have had.

Hands down Ireland is my favorite country. My job took me all over the world!

You may find that there’s a track above the windscreen that allows a curtain to slide across. I love your videos and your wicked sense of humor. Happy camping 🤣🤣

Epic dad skills and a great adventure too. Keep up the adventures.

Everyone I’ve talked to that have been to Ireland say the same as you….. really nice people.

We love Ireland. You must see the Ring of Kerry also Blarney Castle

Laughing together is one of the most important things in a relationship, and you do a lot of it. You also make me smile and laugh, so thanks. :-) Good luck on your next "move"!

Very welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪 you have so much to see here it's a fantastic country hope you have fantastic time here enjoy ☘️🇮🇪🍺🍷

I love you guys so much! I laugh so hard every time you both get punchy. Thanks for adding some joy to my days/nights.

We are and Irish couple and have toured most of the country in our van. Vanlife in west Cork and Kerry is the top pick by a country mile for us. Killarney national park, inch beach and Dingle are all must see's. Connemara is jaw dropping too. I'm sure jits have given plenty of insights too 😊 We shipped our van to Canada and living here now! Maybe you'll head north next time you're stateside and meet us 😅

💚 Ireland. My daughter is actually a Lady of Kerry👸I highly recommend the Wicklow Mountains National Park area south of Dublin. And while in the area do the Guinness tour😁 Sláinte!

Loved this video! So sweet and wholesome and tinged with bitter-sweetness. Thank you x

Never been to Ireland or Europe, glad you are stretching your wings. Go just a little bigger than you think u r ready for, the little guy will need the space.

This video made me so relaxed I’m sleepy. That isn’t a bad thing right now.❤

What a lovely get away! Love the larger van minus the mold 😅. Another great video guys! ~Cara ❤

Its at the very top of Ireland, but Malin Pointe is beautiful and free to park and a beautiful walk along the cliffs.

I so appreciate the tenderness in that moment after Emma came out after her nap. I love your humor and way of being in the world. ❤🙏

You guys are just so precious!!!❤❤❤ welcome to Cork!!! Awesome to see you here 🤗 thanks for showing Cobh thru your eyes. Such a special place. sending ❤ on this special journey xo

The love in this family is so beautiful ❤

Ireland is definitely on our Bucket list ❤ Safe Travels ♥️🤍💙

You are so right, Emma, the sound of the lapping sea to send you to sleep, so soothing. To slow down at times is good, staying a second night in that beautiful spot was such a good idea.👍🐸

### BLOCK OUT FRONT WINDOW### All you do is hang a heavier blanket down from the buck bed, that will stop the people from seeing in... I totally agree about no cloths on at night time in my camper. It's that time of night to be totally FREE!!!! LOL!!!! I love you kids...

I look forward to your posts each week. just letting you know they make pop-up cribs that fit on the front seats of the van. Space saver😊

I used to live in Co. Galway during the 90's. The bulk of the Irish people are extremely welcoming and very naturally kindly people. I was lucky enough to have travelled along the Connemara coastline of Eire and believe or not; got my open water divers certificate there! Your little motorhome looks superb size wise, (we have a 6m Peugeot) and actually, once you have made some improvements, and gotten used to some of the quirks; You'll will unquestionably bond with it.

Thats an excellent pronunciation.. very well done. Even the irish speaker here besidee is impressed.

I visited Ireland in 2019. Love love loved Ballymaloe Cooking School in Cork. Lovely B&B awesome cooking class, lovely shop with all things kitchen. Beautiful gardens and awesome restaurant. The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin. Lovely cream tea beautiful hotel. The Wicklow mountains area. Horseback riding. Powerscourt House and gardens.

Welcome to Ireland, hope you have a great time.

17:00 that was beautiful!

I agree that you have a lot of memories with this van but just think how many more you're about to make as a family of three. I don't think you'll regret it as Noah will definitely appreciate some space to use his legs... they're going to be really active soon!!!!!!

Noah is the cutest baby in the whole world!

Lovely quirky van…Love Ireland, have a great time….🍀

Good video...... I have a suggestion: when you get to Dublin, do the James Joyce tour.

You guys are the best family and I can see how much love you all have for each other. And yah I agree with you guys about a bigger camper or Van just because of space the bigger little man gets the more room he is going to need to move around. I can just see him when your not on the road crawling everywhere so I do think you're going to need something bigger. Where you were camping at looked really calm and relaxing minus the people walking in front of you. You could probably find a way to cover the window at night for privacy I don't think I would like that part even though the view is nice.. but anyway I loved the video and just seeing how big and active Noah is getting is great you guys are great parents. But I will see you in the next video stay safe, safe travels and love and prayers always from the USA.
