I learned a new knitting technique!! (Also, our current hotel is a castle)

Mom (Marci) thinks I should be talking more about the trip and less about my knitting, because, you know, this is a travel blog.

So here is a list of top five blog-worthy moments from the past few days:

1. Our current hotel is a castle!

I am not kidding. I am not even exaggerating, it is a literal, actual, stone built and WiFi enabled castle.

I guess it’s pretty nice.

2. I had grilled lamb liver for breakfast.

...I was not a fan.

3. We visited a gorgeously scenic cliff site complete with hiking trails and castle ruins.

4. This place, the Dromoland castle, also hosts weddings. So my fairytale castle wedding could actually happen. But I couldn’t get that excited about it because…

5. I learned magic loop knitting!

I don’t even need to use two circular needles anymore for small projects. This method of knitting will allow any diameter of… wait, where are you going? This could possibly be the most exciting activity from this entire vacation!!

Fine then. Here's a picture of our family looking happy on our final night's boating adventure:
