Food Truck Festival and Crafts

We decided to go to the Main Street Food Truck festival Saturday. It was a beautiful afternoon to spend outside. We tried to get there early, but managed to arrive by 1:00. It was definitely crowded. After walking down Main Street for a little while we decided on a place to eat. The lines were so long you could barely tell where one started and the other one stopped. We ended up waiting in line for 30 minutes.


I had to use the bathroom really bad and  stopped at the first bathrooms I saw. They were the fancy air conditioned bathroom trailers. I priced them for out wedding, but they were so expensive. They were charging $1 to use the facilities. They were nice inside.
Sunday I decided to get crafty! I weathered the boards Kev and I put together the other night to make a welcome I've seen on Pinterest.
 I searched Pinterest for how to make new boards look old and came across this method. You let a steel wool pad soak in vinegar over night. First you steep a few tea bags and brush the tea onto the wood. After that brush on the vinegar mixture and let it dry. As is dries it starts to turn colors.
I purchased the letters from Hobby Lobby while they were 50% off. I used oil rubbed bronze spray paint

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. ...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.
