Day 7: Ever-Moher

Today was another early day.  We woke in time to get breakfast today though, something we rarely do.  I decided to get the buffet as it would be quicker to eat and get on the bus.  I've decided that I truly do not want to sit in the back of the bus near the children.  They are a little loud and rambunctious, so I like to get on the bus early.

Today we were headed to Rathbaun Farm to make scones and see the farm.  On our way to the kitchen we passed a 250 year old thatched roof cottage.  It was adorable.  We then were taught by Francis the proper way to make a scone.  I was the designated photographer, so I watched as some of the members of our tour and The-Person-I-Am-Travelling-With mixed the ingredients.  He did quite a nice job if you were wondering.

While the scones were baking we were shown around the farm.  They had a Kerry cow who had just given birth to her calf that morning.  They had two ponies and a lot of sheep.  The junior adventurers got to feed some lambs, but unfortunately 26 is not considered a junior adventurer, so I didn't get a chance to feed them.  I consoled myself with remembering the baby goats that I had the opportunity to hold a few months ago.

We also had an opportunity to see a border collie, sheepdog do his thing.  He is about a year old and was never trained, so everything we saw was instinctual.

We were then invited to eat lunch and try our scones.  The scones were pretty good.  They were a little burned, but not bad. 

Next up, we headed to the Cliffs of Moher.  I was a little annoyed because we were told that we would have a limited time at the Cliffs of Moher because people had afternoon activities back at the hotel.  So walking around I felt a little rushed.  It was gorgeous!  I liked being able to see the Atlantic Ocean from the other side.  It looks prettier here than Ocean City, haha.  At the Cliffs of Moher, there was a tower that you could climb "to get a better view".  It was a Brian Boru tower.  Ooooh.  Aaaah.  There were two spiral staircases that you climbed to go both up and down.  When you got to the top there wasn't much of a difference between the view on the ground and the view from the tower.

We had our farewell dinner tonight as well.  I'm very sad to be leaving.  There was so much more that I would have liked to do.  I think overall Disney Adventures was a great trip.  They really make you feel special and give you all kinds of goodies.  So I would certainly recommend them.  The-Person-I-Am-Travelling-With already wants to save up points to go on the China trip.

So sadly we will be back in the states tomorrow afternoon and back at home around 7.  See you all soon!
