Irish Summer 2012…What we did
Running a B&B or just been in the tourist business does limit a person and their family on getting away or doing activities over the summer months, our family agreed 2012 was a great summer….so what did we do!!!!! Well we did lots of days out to the beach at Bundoran and Rossnowlagh in Donegal, went to Mayo did a bit of surfing, climbed Croagh Patrick , then spent the Halloween break exploring the Boyne Valley in Meath and Carlingford Town in Louth. All in all a bit of something for everyone in the family.
Here are some of our holiday shots….more in facebook
