Weekend Get Away

We house sat for my parents this weekend. Which meant we got to lay by the pool and feed the dogs. We slept in Saturday morning and didn't even make it down there until 1:30. Kev forgot his swim trunks, so we had to stop by Old Navy and pick up a pair. We thought about trying to get to the lake, but decided not to since my brother had a boat full already.

I spent the afternoon floating on a raft in the pool, while Kev napped inside. We went to an early dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. It was yummy and we got to sit at a table right on the lake. There were lots of ducks and geese wanting food. They had feeding dispensers set up along the rail. There were a couple if babies. They were adorable. 
Sunday, we got up, ate breakfast, and packed the ice chest. It was pretty cloudy but it was nice and cool outside. After the 100 degree temperatures last week clouds and cool air felt wonderful.
We spent the day on Lake Ouachita. My brother went out with us for a couple of hours, then we had the rest of the afternoon to ourselves. I squeezed in a little nap There's nothing like floating on the lake. 
I was nice to get away and enjoy the lake.

It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...
