Galway
grand wee town (city according to the locals) with plenty to do and heaps of culture, restaurants, family friendly tourist stuff and best of all, you're an hours ferry from the Arann islands which are fab, craggy, car-free, entirely bike-able and the weather isnt half bad this time of year either.

If you dont fancy the ferry, you can hire a car and drive the length of Irelands west coast north to Donegal or south to Kerry which if you google image, you'll see is awfully pretty indeed.

Go,
Galway is a great city. (Its a big city to me anyway coming from a state in the us where the number of people just outnumbered cows in the last 20 years).

I wanna go too
but we want some better weather than our fair location can offers most of the year.

yeah but I've written the most so far
so you're kind of obligated now.

And I've booked you into Aunty Bridies' B+B. Felim is warming up the tractor to take you on the potato tour and de brudr has the donkeys saddled for safari.
