St. Patrick


We spent the morning hiking then met with the Cosgroves for a parade in Ardee, a small town 20 minutes from Annagassan. The parade was fun for the kids - a few bands, some costumers (Power Rangers?) and not bombastic (despite the tank!).








Hey, you try to capture 5 kids smiling at the same time! 
We took a lovely drive from Ardee to the tiny sea town of Omeath. This route led us through gorgeous passages in the Cooley Mountains, where we will soon spend a day hiking. We could not find a traditional pub, but within the Granvue Hotel there was a classic vibe, at least to our eyes and ears. We just missed the live music and Irish dancers, but just as well, the room opened up for all of the kids to run wild. The food was good and the pints were tasty. A good day.
