A Very Nice Day!

Today we went to Portadown (sp?) with Joan, one of the teachers in my dept. We decided to go to the bookstore at Queens University on the way through Belfast as we both needed to look for some books in Spanish. All I can say is WOW! The uni bookstore is amazing and I want to go back someday with the wee one is at nursery. Ditto for the general area. It so had that uni feel to it that I love! On then we went to the Exploritorium to see the exhibits. We had a wonderful time and Mr. E did pet a shark this time. The rays in the petting tank were so very friendly that they would pop out of the water and look at you waiting to be touched. It was very cool. One the trip down and back we must have enjoyed some of the most beautiful views in all Ireland. This is such a pretty place. Finally we went to Mt. Stewart to see the manor house and gardens. It was amazing. Yet again, the BL amazed me with his four year old self by saying: this is just so very pretty=the flowers are so colorful. So, thanks, Joan for a wonderful day-one that I'm sure we'll remember for a long time!
