dad and i left dublin this morning for new adventures. it was good bye to the city and helloooooo to the country. the drive to kilkenny was less than two hours, annnnnnd once again we did not get lost! well... we mostly didn't get lost. we are bound to take at least one or two wrong turns, maybe more. today was more of a kick back, relax day. we are staying at a place called mount juliet. it is suppose to be a resort with a great golf course, but i think it looks more like a golf course with some hotel rooms.
if anyone knows my dad, they know he loves to golf. we both agreed before we left that this was NOT going to be a golfing trip!!!! but of course, we drove up, he took one look at the golf course and said "pretty please, nat, can i go golfing?" he said "what do i have to do to convince you to let me play at least nine holes." i am a pushover and easy going, plus i don't care what i am doing because i am in ireland!! i gave in, like i do haha and we argeed that he would go golfing and i would hang out by the pool. a pretty good bargin i think.
practicing his pro golf swimg, lookin good dad
lunch time is the best time! and dinner... and breakfast...
late night dessert run....
last night we were sitting in our hotel room and around 9 p.m i said to my dad "i am feelin a treat," he goes "i agree, lets go get one." it was harder than you would think to find a late night treat in dublin. everything from the shopping malls to the dessert shops close down by six. only the resturaunts stay open late. we walked around for quite a bit until we found a little cafe with cakes, eclairs and cup cakes in the window. it was a cute little cafe. it is the kind of place that even when you just want to order cakes they have you sit down and order with a waiter. people go there to order a cup of coffer or hot chocolate and just sit and talk.
after we finished up our cakes, we walked past a gelato shop. of course all these dessert places were popping up when we weren't looking for one. i joked and said, "dad look gelato", he goes "oh my goodness, we gotta get one of those." i thought he was joking. he wasn't, and into the gelto shop we went.
