We got a slow start Saturday AM, after being out late at the Derry F.C. game on Friday night. Once we were all up, we went to Wetherspoons for brunch. We all had variations on the traditional Ulster Fry. Yes, Wetherspoons even has vege sausage for their vegetarian breakfast.
Steve and I dropped M at Laser Space for the much anticipated birthday party. The birthday boy, who was turning 8, is the 2nd oldest in a family of four kids, so there was a big crowd of kids between the ages of 2 and 9. They played laser tag and had treats. It must have been quite the time because, as soon as we picked M up and started our drive to Donegal, he fell asleep! That's the sign of a good party!
We drove for about an hour to get to Glenveagh Park and Castle. We decided to tour the castle, which was built in the 1870s as a hunting lodge. The tour was very informative but long and by the time it was done, we were running out of time and hurried out to get back on the road to the hotel. We will definitely go back to walk the grounds.
We spent the night at Bunbeg House, on the Atlantic coast. For dinner, we went to the Seaview hotel. On Sunday morning, we walked the beach in Bunbeg before heading home. M and I like to collect seashells. We didn't see many but we did see lots of snail shells. We brought home a few empty shells and watched snails on the rocks. M felt that snails move faster than we give them credit for and I was surprised by the variety in size and color of the shells.
