Last Stops on our June Bank Holiday

Everywhere you go in Ireland, there are cemeteries with old head-stones and usually they also have some kind of ruin or tower on the property. We stopped here on our way to Trim to learn about the tower and the ruin.  Of course, there had once been a church and monastery on the property as it is Ireland you know!








I took pictures of the Iron Crosses for my gymnast, Connor.



Now this was disconcerting.  Felt sort of like we had found Dracula's resting place!


Complete with a family crest...


From there we went on to our final stop:  Trim.  We had to go so Steve could finally get a tour of the castle and get inside the castle grounds.  It was again, well worth it.

After Trim, we then headed back home.  Though a little weary from our travels, we thoroughly enjoyed our June Bank Holiday Weekend!
