Last Tuesday, Me and Levi went over to Grandma Nancy's house to spend the night. My Papa brought Levi and I up to Grandma's house, and we went to go eat at Applebees. We met my cousins Nayda and Jalen at Applebees along with their parents, and Grandma. We all ate at Applebees. I got a Mac and Cheese dish that had some spicy Chicken Tenders on top of it. The Mac and Cheese was half covered in a sweet cheese sauce, and the other was in a sweet sauce, almost like syrup tasting but not as thick as syrup. It was very good! After we ate at Applebees, Levi, Grandma, Papa and I all drove back to Grandmas. My Dad left and then we spent the night at Grandmas house Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning, Levi and I had some Cheerios for breakfast. After that we went to go walk along the beach. It was pretty cold because the wind was blowing at us. We found some driftwood and walked up and down the beach for a while. After that we were going to go to a Movie Theater to see Boss Baby. Grandma wanted to see it and so did I. We got some popcorn and went into the theater. There was nobody else in that movie theater. Probably because it was the middle of a Wednesday.
Boss Baby was really good, it was better than I thought it would be. It was really funny also. After the movie, we went back to Grandmas house to hangout. My Dad came over for dinner Wednesday night, and we cooked some steak that Grandma had a new way of preparing. She covered the steak in sea salt for about 3 hours then cooked it and it made it more tender and full of flavor. It was very delicious! After Dinner, Papa, Levi and I drove home and got home around 9:30 PM.
Before I left to come back to Ireland, I had worked on the pool. It needed a lot of work done on the plants around the pool. There were these white grass plants that always overgrow and need to be trimmed down to about 2 inches from the ground. I trimmed all of them around the pool. Here is what the plants looked like before I trimmed them.
After I trimmed the grasses, I also put out all of the pool furniture and furniture by the Garage. Here is what it looked like right before I went back to Dublin.
It looks really nice now and I cant wait until the Pool gets cleaned and set up to swim in because then it will look very nice. The pool is very dirty, and we did not cover it with anything last winter, so it is all green and gross.
Thursday, I woke up around 10:30 AM. I did a lot of cleaning Thursday since I went back to Dublin soon. Thursday, I cleaned all of the bathrooms in the house, including the bathtubs in the 3 main bathrooms on the 2nd floor. They looked very clean once I cleaned them. I also took out the trash and recycling so that it would be done once I get back to Grand Rapids May 22nd.
Friday, Ben and Caleb came over to hangout. Ben got dropped off at my house around 4:00 PM, and we played some Call of Duty upstairs, and we went out to eat with Levi and my Dad also. My Dad took Ben, Levi and I out to Moe's. Moe's is a Tex Mex Grill where you can make your own burritos and salads. It is really delicious. It is like a Subway for Mexican food. I got a Homewrecker Jr. and put steak in it along with sour cream, rice, beans, lettuce, and guacamole. It was very good.

Ben had to go home later on Friday night, but Caleb came over also while Ben was still here. We hung out upstairs on the 3rd floor. When Ben left, Caleb stayed because he could stay the night. We played a lot of Clash Royale which is a battle game where you battle other people in different clans. It is very fun to play. We went to sleep around 2:00 AM. I set my alarm for 8:00 AM Saturday morning because my flight was at 12:15 PM and I had to pack a little bit more. I got up at 8:00 AM and I had to pack my clothes, and my snacks I had ready to take to Dublin. The past week I have bought snacks and saved up a pile of snacks to take back to Dublin to last me about a Month. I also want to let the Irish kids at St. Andrews try things like Takis, Hot Cheetos and Cheez-Its. They dont have things like that over here. This is the pile of snacks that I brought over to Dublin.
I was going to try to fit it all in the Orange carry on bag that I usually use to carry on-board the airplane. I wanted to carry it on the airplane and not check it because if I checked the bag all of the snacks would get crushed because the people just throw around the checked baggage basically. I made sure all of the bags did not pop inside the Orange Luggage. I fit it all in barely.
I went back to bed around 8:50 AM for another 30 minutes. Caleb was still sleeping. I got up at 9:20 AM and took a quick shower, then went down stairs to say hi to Aunt Pennie, Oma and Aunt Ruth Ann because they were all there in the morning to say hi for a bit. I talked to them and had some toast with jam for breakfast. Caleb said hi to everybody also. Caleb left around 10:20 AM and I brought my bags down to put in my Dads car. I had one bag to Check, and 2 carry on bags, one backpack and the Orange bag with the snacks inside of it.

Papa drove Me and Levi to the Airport and we met Oma there. We got all of our 3 bags checked so that we did not have to carry them around anymore. We went up to the tables and chairs where we could sit and wait a bit. We said goodbye to Papa and went to our gate. Our first flight was only 90 minutes long, but once we got to Atlanta, we had a 5 hour layover. We went to Chick-Fil-A to get some Lunch around 3:00 PM. Our flight was at 7:55 PM.
I got a spicy chicken sandwich and it was really good, and I also got some fries and lemonade. Their lemonade is really good. We went to find somewhere to sit to eat our food, and after that, we went to our gate to sit and wait to get on our plane. We went from Terminal C to Terminal E to get to our gate E14. We finally got on our plane later around 7:20 PM.
We got a meal on that Plane, and I chose the Chicken meal like always.
It was pretty good. I watched Deepwater Horizon which is a Movie about the Oil Spill in 2010 from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig that spilled 210,000,000 Gallons of oil into the Coast of Mexico. It was a really good movie. I tried to sleep on the Airplane but I cant sleep while I am sitting up so I did not sleep a lot. We got to Dublin and it was about 9:00 AM, and we took a taxi home after we got our luggage. Once I got to the house, I took about a 3 hour nap until 1:00 PM Dublin time, then I was fine.
We had Dinner reservations Sunday night at 5:30 PM at a place called Fade Street Social. It is a restaurant that has Tapas, and a whole other side just for real meals. We ate at the Restaurant side of it, and here is what the inside looked like.
It was really cool inside, and we got to sit at a half booth half table part, and I love sitting on a booth chair, they are very comfortable. The menu was very interesting, and they had a lot of food that had Truffle flavoring in it. I decided to get a pizza that had Pumpkin, Pork, Mushrooms and Chestnuts on it. It was very delicious. Oma and Levi split another flatbread pizza, and we got little sides like Cauliflower with cheese and sauce and french fries.

I was very full after eating the meal at Fade Street Social. We got dessert also, and I got this Ice-Cream in a chocolate ball and to get the Ice-Cream, they poured hot chocolate sauce on top of the ball of chocolate.
