Snack & Play Travel Tray

By Jody Halsted April 26, 2008

Of course I was quite flattered- who doesn’t like to try stuff? I spent quite a lot of time perusing their website, which is very user […]

Killarney for Kids: Kennedy’s Animal, Bird and Pet Farm

By Jody Halsted April 22, 2008

Not far out from Killarney (about 5 miles) along the N22 is Kennedy’s Animal, Bird and Pet Farm. We spent an afternoon there with the girls playing on the outdoor and indoor playgrounds, petting animals and having fun. Kennedy’s has dozens of animals: sheep and goats, horses and deer, puppies and rabbits, all sorts of […]

Killarney for Kids: Shopping

By Jody Halsted April 14, 2008

We spent 4 days and 3 nights around Killarney. There is a reason this is one of Ireland’s tourist hot-spots – there is so much to do! We didn’t even scratch the surface. Kid friendly doesn’t even begin to describe all you can do in and around Killarney. Killarney is the major tourist town of […]

The English Market and Farmgate Cafe, Cork, Ireland

By Jody Halsted April 9, 2008

The day we visited Cork City we had many plans for outdoor adventures. Unfortunately that is also the day that the “sunny south east” of Ireland saw snow for the first time in 15 years. So while the weather deterred us from a walking tour of Cork City it did allow us more time to […]

Kilkenny Castle, County Kilkenny, Ireland

By Jody Halsted April 8, 2008

Kilkenny Castle is the type of castle you picture in your mind. Imposing from the outside, opening to a great park at the rear and a garden with fountains at the front. Kilkenny Castle is almost like a fairy tale. Kilkenny Castle belonged to the Butler family, the earls of Ormande from 1391 to 1967 […]

Jerpoint Abbey, County Kilkenny, Ireland

By Jody Halsted April 4, 2008

Our first stop in County Kilkenny was Jerpoint Abbey. Located just outside of Thomastown you really can’t miss it as it nestles up to N9 (a major roadway). We received a great lesson on the history of Jerpoint Abbey from Sheila in the interpretive center- be sure to stop in, you will notice more as […]
