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

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. ...
