We only had a knife so eating a potato was difficult for the girls but not the boys.
Baked chicken and veggies.
Yes, this got a little messy but we each did have a bowl of water to wash our fingers off.
We drank water or white wine
And just to make sure we left the grounds when the banquet was over, a man playing bagpipes was at the castle exit.
There were flights from Shannon to the US but we flew to Heathrow where it took 2 hours to get through customs and security. Our friends flew from Shannon to Charlotte and it took them only 30 minutes.
Whew! it's a long flight.
O'Hare customs and security took about an hour. Then an hour layover and we reached Huntsville about 8:45 p.m. Sweet Home Alabama!
Quoting John Denver (loosely): "Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this ole farm feels like a long lost friend. Hey, it's good to be back home again."
Hope you enjoyed our trip with us. In June our celebration will be much simpler.
