Car Rides & Candy

     Yesterdays adventures were not exactly thrilling as most of our time was spent in the car. Driving from Dublin to Killarney Katie and I took in scenery from the back seat, but struggled to stay awake.


Stopping at a petro station Dad purchased candy to eat in the car....my oh my, we ate way too much sugar yesterday. However, my favorites were definitely the malted eggs from the Mobergs. Yum!


Shopping at the Killarney outlet mall Katie and I wandered through shops as Mom and Dad searched for a B&B. Not the best idea to split up considering we don't have cellphones to reconnect with. We thought for sure we had lost Dad in Killarney. Thankfully we found one another and a great little B&B as well. 


After going without a hairdryer we were thrilled to find one included in our room. Who would have thought a hairdryer would be our favorite part of our B&B. 


Many shops have beautiful tea sets. I found this display to be especially lovely, reminding me of our numerous tea parties with Grandma Vivian. 


Not so lovely would be their doughnuts. Ewww, what kind of squashed plastic is this? 


Dinner at Milano's became last night's highlight. Each of us enjoyed absolutely delicious dishes. Katie and I shared pesto pasta and a Bosco salad(mushroom, avocado, goat cheese, honey-mustard sauce). Wow! It was incredible. Finishing dinner we went to find live music. The first pub was a bit of a disappointment, but featured a few nice songs.  Coming across Courrtney's a more traditional pub we found grand trad with great craic.



With Love from Killarney
