Heading to Cork - Friday Dec. 30th

Hello Loyal followers,
Thought I'd send a quick note to let you all know we're heading out on our first adventure tomorrow morning. We'll take a 3 hour train ride, south, to Cork.
We decided, on a whim, to go somewhere for New Year's even though we'll be confined to our hotel room after 8 pm with our little one. Such is life with a baby.

I'll be sure to post pictures once we're back.

Oh! Had to add:
We were all set to stay at the Maldron Hotel in Cork City when I went to 'google' it last night. I think I wanted to get a better map for it. Well, I type in "Maldron Hotel Cork" and what comes up in the search bar:
"Maldron Hotel Cork"
"Maldron Hotel Cork Haunted"

AHHH!! Of course I clicked on it and sure 'nuff, there are about 5 links about how this hotel is haunted.
Here's one:

NEEDLESS to say, I called and cancelled our reservation. You've got to be out of your mind! Are you KIDDING ME?! What if I hadn't googled it the night before?? It was once a hospital for those terminally ill AND a morgue! Eww! And operating as one up until 1987! No, not 1887 as I would've preferred. It was a creepy hospital up until 1987. Eww!

Now, we're safely booked at a lovely hotel far from this one. Just had to share that near disaster.

You are going to miss the entertainment provided by your neighbor. I am sure she will have something big planned for New Year's Eve. ;) Cork does sound better - who needs the extra drama??

Fun Fun! Happy New Year! This will be one you'll never forget.
