It is a goal to use as many weekends to travel as possible
so this time it was off to Northern Ireland.
The girls were out again to celebrate Stephanie’s birthday. Since no one lives in Belfast we were staying
in a hostel and that is always an experience.
Our beautiful bunk beds were awaiting our arrival, but the heat was
not. That makes for a very cold night in
a very cold country. No time to worry
though since we needed to go out and about and see the town. We went out to find the oldest pub in Belfast
and were lucky enough to get into a tiny little room. The pub is set up with tables around the edge
that have doors separating them from the main area of the bar. It had a great atmosphere and fun stories
about the people who opened it years ago.
On Saturday we went out to the Titanic Museum to learn about the making of the ship. The building itself was amazing and gave a different perspective to the story of Titanic. After visiting one in Vegas a few years ago I thought it was interesting to learn more about the people who actually built the ship. And of course a bit of movie history popped up as well showing the interest that this ship has always been to people.

Next up was a black cab tour around the city. This was extremely interesting and I learned
a lot of the history of Belfast and the conflict that is still an
issue in the city. Our tour guide was
amazing and had a great way of telling stories, and an awesome accent to go
with it.

Our final pub of the trip was tons of fun with live music and great songs. They even played some American ones for us! We had a wonderful time talking to people at the pub and then went back to our hostel for one more cold night. The hostel may not have been the best, but it certainly was something I won't forget! Another great weekend for the books.
