Today was actually a beautiful sunny day here in Ireland. It didn't rain. Not even once!! We drove to Cork which is one of the largest cities here. The city has tons of places to shop and many cute places to eat. We finally had a decent meal at a restaurant. It wasn't pub food, shocking..!!! It may come as a surprise that the food quality here leaves something to be desired. We were happy to find the exception. (Name of the rest. was Scoozi's) The kids were thrilled to order dessert from the grown up's menu. Considering that the dessert that came with their meal is ice cream and jello. In the same bowl. Yuck. Gordon Ramsay has nothing to worry about. As you can see from the pictures, they were satisfied with their choices.
Our intent was to have lunch in Cork and go on to Cobh (pronounced cove). This is the last port of call for the Titanic. It is also where the victims of the Lusitania are buried. It has a great museum that Ian and Emma were looking forward to seeing. Not so much. We couldn't find it. We tried. We failed. Maybe Cobh, like the Titanic, is somewhere at the bottom of the ocean. So we drove 2 hours for lunch. But it was a good lunch.

So, will you be taking us to Cork when we come to visit you next month?? We can't wait to see all the cool places you've been (and maybe some you haven't yet) and oh, I guess we're pretty excited to see you too....And there are a couple of dogs that might be a little happy to visit as well. Then again, they seem perfectly content to hang out on my lap, or side or head when I am on the couch. Can't wait until November! Love, Auntie Lee, Uncle Pete, Dixie, Oliver & Otto
