Formaldehyde Castle!

Day 3 was awesome! Day 3 I finally felt like a normal person again. Jet lag was gone! We decided we'd take a short day trip out to Malahide Castle and Gardens from here on out known as formaldehyde castle and gardens. Our tour guide from the previous day suggested it as a great day trip and we felt like we'd seen enough of busy and crowded Dublin.

Derrick was amazing on this whole trip. He worked out all of our travel details, train tickets, underground routes, hotels, taxis, and entertainment. I'm not sure I could have even crossed the street without him. It was so nice to not have to worry about the planning! He figured out our train route to formaldehyde and we were there about 30 minutes later.

The formaldahyde train station was adorable!

What did I tell you about the flowers! Ireland! Give me your flowers!



Derrick and I have selected this house to purchase. Crosby will guard its gates, our children will practice cricket in the local castle gardens, and Derrick will ride the train into Dublin for work. It will be a lovely life.

The castle was stunning and also haunted according to our tour guide.

Along with a pass to the castle our tickets got us into the castle gardens which were amazing! Dad may decide to apply to the head gardener position. He was in heaven. Just check out this lion king tree as soon as you enter!

We traveled around the winding paths for the next hour exploring the garden climbing the trees.

This was a family favorite.

That night we enjoyed dinner at a local sports pub and turned in early. Our flight to London was bright and early the next morning!

Post to come about the main event and our adorable AirBnb!
