Ross Castle

 Hi y'all!  See I promised I would be back soon.  I have so much blogging to catch up on.

To pick up where we left off...We stayed the night in Killarney then headed out the next day to drive along the scenic Dingle Peninsula.  As we left town we happened to see a sign for Ross Castle and decided to check it out.  This was one of the most beautiful spots!!  There was a pond/lake out back with a gorgeous view of the mountains.

How could you not want to wake up to this view every morning! Apparently, the castle was owned by the O'Donoghue family and there is a legend that the head of the household leaped or was sucked out of the window of the grand chamber at the top of the castle and disappeared into the waters of the lake with his horse, his table and his library.  He now lives in a great palace at the bottom of the lake where he keeps a close eye on everything that he sees.

The lighting was so amazing while we were there I had to take advantage and get a few family shots.   (P.S. Thanks Daddy for the new lens!!! It takes great pics).

After our little photo session we walked back to the car to continue our journey on to Dingle.  More on that to come tomorrow!  This guy below was hanging out in the castle parking lot : )
