We stopped at a grocery on our way back to Kinsale to pick up some food staples.
The girls were pretty sleep deprived so we watched a Hallmark movie and off to bed they went - for 11 hours.
Sunday began with a quick walk to Mass at St. John the Baptist which was built in 1839. Mass was followed by a walk-a-bout in the cobble stoned village and a "grand" lunch. On our way back to our new home we stopped at Multose Abbey which is over 850 year old, part of the Church of Ireland.
Sunday was Mass and Monday was a tour of the Jameson Distillery in Midleton, about 50 minutes away. It was a great tour. ALL Jameson and Powers whiskey is made here. It is the only Jameson Distillery in the world. Following the tour there's is a taste test with three generous shots of whiskey: Jameson, a Scotch whiskey and an American whiskey - seriously! Then they give you a ticket for a whiskey at their bar!! Now, this place is in a small town - 20 minutes from anywhere so they must realize that people drive there! How is this a good idea? Needless to say, we also had lunch there. We later found a movie theater and saw Fantastic Beasts, The Crimes of Grindelwald before driving home. Great day.
I just hope your girls know how lucky they are to have you two as parents. Did the girls do "bottoms up" with the whiskey?
ReplyDeleteAgree, Bill. I think they know!
DeleteAmen!
DeleteAfter watching a Hallmark movie, I usually fall asleep for 11 hours too. �� Thanks for the update. Sounds fun and glad the two new travelers found you by your sign. (Cute). Thanks for keeping us up to date in your adventures. I enjoy it very much.
ReplyDeleteHappy Days! You have attended mass at such lovely cathedrals. As far as the Jameson's, my mother, when she drank alcohol, would only have Scorch. We got her Jameson's one time and she said it just wasn't the same. I do enjoy the blogs. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove the food "staples"! And that the girls are there!!! Enjoy! What a fantastic Thanksgiving/Christmas celebration.
ReplyDeleteHow great that Kathleen and Erin are there! Sounds like a wonderful family time. Glad you had lunch before driving. Enjoy! ☘️🦃
ReplyDeleteSo 20 years ago you sent Kathleen and Erin to a school for a day. Now you are taking them to a distillery. I think I know which on they enjoyed the most
