Glenarm Castle Walled Garden

There were still some tulips in bloom when we were there which was wonderful to see.  The gardens have their annual tulip festival in March and they also have monthly concerts, highland games, and an entire venue of events all year long.

 The guys had a great time with us in the garden, hiding behind hedges and shrubs and pretending to be the stone statues at the top of the waterfall steps.

 This is the first of our self-group-photo using the camera's timer.  I set the up the group shot and had everyone sit in the grass... here...here and here... and then set the timer and joined them sitting in the grass.  Well the joke was on me because when I sat down was when it became apparent that the grass was wet.  "Hey the grass is wet" I said and they said, "Yes! Yes it is"! With cheesy grins on their faces. 

Everyone was a good sport for all the group photos we took throughout the trip.  Thank you guys for playing along so well with my impromptu photo shoots, we now have thousands of snapshots to remember all the laughter and our greatest Ireland vacation.

Glenarm Castle – for 400 years the family home of the Earls of Antrim and the setting of a glorious Walled Garden which is open to visitors from May to September.
