Duncannon Beach, Co Wexford

Family day at Duncannon's beautiful beach. The tide was way out allowing people to park on the sand. It was a gorgeous day but it was so windy making it cold (for me).  A sandcastle festival was going on. Bouncy castle, trampolines and human hamster balls were set up. We ran into Donal's cousin Claire's family, and lucky for Claire and I that Declan and Rory chickened out on the hamster ball that we took advantage- glad I did it, but once is enough, lol.

Huntington Castle in Clonegal

Beautiful gardens and an awesome adventure playground for the kids. We didn't go inside, but will be back. They also have a lovely tea room I would like to take a time out in.
