Kilkenny and Waterford

Started the day by heading up to Kilkenny Castle - the restoration and f the rooms has truly paid attention to detail.

They also had the long picture gallery-

Then hit the studios in the old stable court prior to heading to the car and then pff to Waterford. There we took the tour of the crystal factory - probably only time I've seen Mom hold a football-

Of course, the crystal was pretty spectacular-

Then headed up to Dublin - and hit Friday afternoon traffic. Still made it to the B&B, where Lora Leigh and Jen had checked in earlier. We all headed to dinner, and are tucked up in bead for a day of seeing Dublin tomorrow.
