Beach Trip


Our trip to the beach was so relaxing! I woke up about 6:00 every morning and took our chairs and umbrella to the beach. If you wanted a good spot close to the water, you had to set up before the rental guys. Once everything was set up, I would get my coffee and have some quiet time on the beach. We always stay at the Hampton Inn and they have a wonderful breakfast buffet that we enjoyed each morning. Kev usually came down about 10:00 to join me.
We stopped in the Wave store across the street and he bought a selfie stick. He loves that thing and we took tons of selfies. So warning... this post will have selfie overload.
Friday Afternoon Beach Selfie
About 3:30 Friday afternoon a storm with lots of lightning came out of no where. The umbrella rental guys frantically picked up umbrellas and chairs. We packed everything up and started taking things inside. We decided to leave the chairs and umbrella since there was no ways I could get them with the bags and ice chest. Kev was taking the huge rafts he bought to the car. I didn't even bother standing in line to shower the sand off my feet. We met back in the room and was standing on the balcony when we see a pavilion canopy start flying down the beach and take out our umbrella. We rushed downstairs and out to the beach. We pulled the umbrella out of the sand and the canopy flew back and hit Kev in the head. About this time, the rains tarted pelting down. We were soaking wet by the time we made it to the doors.

Thursday night we were starving and in a hurry to eat, so we just stopped in the first place that wasn't crowded, Shaggy's,  and it was just okay. Friday night we ate at the Grand Marlin and it was fabulous! We enjoyed a drink on the huge deck overlooking the sound while we waited on our table. It was so nice to eat outside every night.
Before Dinner Selfie
Saturday was a repeat of Friday, coffee on the beach, breakfast, lounging and reading on the beach, dinner, and nightly walk on the beach.

Here comes the selfies...



Saturday afternnon brought another storm. This time there wasn't lots of lightening and we had time to get everything inside with no problems. We even stopped to take a selfie.
I'm guessing we were bored while waiting in the room. Here are the silly selfies. This truly shows our personalities.

I don't want our only trip each year to be the beach, but as long as we have points and can stay for free, I'm all of it. I just want to be able to see different places each year.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. 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. ...

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.
