We interrupt our regularly scheduled program of Sam's birthday trip blog to celebrate the actual day Sam turns 39+X!!! I'm not allowed to say how old she is, but in honor of the special occasion, here are 50 mostly-new photos of Sam in Ireland.
We love you Sam! Keep lighting up the world with your smile!
