September 8th, 2019 Ireland Trip

At this house I had to sleep on the couch. To wake up to this view every morning was so nice. <3

We were way up on a ridge and it was just breath taking! The smell was just amazing! Pine, grass, leaves, flowers, water, and just amazing Ireland smell all mixed together...



Mommy's journal

All these light switches were no annoying! One night I couldn't figure out which one turned off what so I was turning off and on all kinds of lights while people were trying to sleep! :D I felt kinda bad!

Our Sunday breakfast!

Lovely eggs!

At Muckross House in Killarney National Park

So pretty!



Taking a cart ride to around some of the park.

Luke the cart driver said his name is Luke but his friends recently started calling him Trump because he got a bad hair cut which resembles President Trump’s hair. :D
I actually thought his hair looked like President Trumps, before I heard him say that. 
He was 18 from County Cork and had to go through schooling before he could get his own horse and cart. He has been working with horses from age 14.
He talks gibberish to his horse and told us that his horse (Susie) was jealous because he had to take his boss’s horse, Bella, and cart so we could all fit. His Dad was his boss I think. 
He was very kind to Gram too. Telling her to “Take your time love” as she tried to get into the cart. He also got her a stepping stool so she could get in. Such a nice kid! I was impressed!











We stopped to look at a waterfall but Gram and Mom stayed back. Mom went to it after we came back. Gram somehow managed to cut her leg on the cart and it was bleeding like crazy! Hence all the blood on her dress. She was fine though, took it in classic Gram style. :)







The waterfall. It is much bigger in person! The pictures make it look small.





Brie saying hi to Bella

Thanks Bella!

Brie, Emmie, and I explored the grounds together.











Gift shop and restaurant. :)

Yum! They don't put mayo on sandwiches, just butter. :)

We split this. It was SO good!

Emmie and Brie got these

Us girls ate outside and the rooks were very happy to share our meal. :P

Mom got an eclair for Emmie. It was so good! The perfect amount of sweet and bitter.

:P

We then went to Griffin's Garden Center in Dripsey, Cork, Ireland

It is a shop and restaurant 



Very cute and reasonably priced 

Lots of yummy stuff!





Don't get any drinks unless they have sugar available as almost all their drinks have very little sugar in them.

We also stopped at a store to get some yummies. :P

We were like kids in a candy shop. :D















Mom got this. 



And we got some sandwich stuff.
