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. ...

Winter Weather Cancels Marathon

This weekend was supposed to be the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis. I signed up back in June and reserved my hotel. However, mother nature had other plans. We had a round of bad winter weather that left roads iced over for several days, so they ended up canceling the race. I checked and luckily my hotel will refund me my money, while others are not. Now, I was going to complete this race, but had I trained for it? No. I've been way too busy the past few months to take hours out of my dad and weekend to run. I had a house to finish and move into and a wedding to plan and attend. Anyways. I'm thinking about running the Nashville one in April. We will see. On another note the winter weather had us trapped on our hill for four days, before the temperatures reached 32 and the ice could melt some. Kev and I definitely enjoyed spending some quality time together and had a blast sledding.

Power Outage

Christmas Day we had lots of ice topped off with snow. Our power went out about 4:00 that afternoon. Luckily, I had already made a huge pot of chili. About two hours later, it came back on just long enough for us to eat dinner and shower (since I have a well, I don't get water when there's not electricity). By 10:00 it was out again and that's the last time we had power. I have a fireplace so keeping warm wasn't a problem. Kev split some wood and we were good to go. I pulled the camping cookware down from the attic. I cooked sausage, eggs, and toast for breakfast.  Warmed chili up for lunch. And made grilled chicken and cheese sandwiches for dinner.  I even pulled some cookie dough from the freezer and grilled cookie dough. We had to flip them like pancakes to cook them thoroughly, but they we delicious.  After sleeping on the mattress in front if the fireplace and still no power, we got the ok from his dad to bring all the animals out to his land....
