With so much to do in Ireland, one episode just wouldn't be enough! In this special Girls Getaway episode, Colleen and her sister Catie head to the Wild Atlantic Way, where they meet up with some of their Irish cousins for a trip they'll never forget. During their time in Ireland, Colleen and Catie get competitive at clay shooting, learn how to harvest mussels in a stunning fjord, take a scenic bike ride around the city of Westport, listen and dance to traditional Irish music at Matt Molloy's pub, where they even get to meet Grammy-winning musician Matt Molloy himself, and go on a horseback riding adventure along the beautiful Tullan Strand in Donegal. Along the way, we'll also give you a glimpse into the incredible castles and unique accommodations of Ireland.
