Family Holidays for Easter
Easter is a month away and time to look for some ideas for a family break.  It is later this year so there may be a chance of better weather. 
Kilkenny
Discoverypark.ie
Kilkenny the Viking capital of Ireland is a stunning medieval city with lots of things to do for the whole family.  It is also the craft and food capital of Ireland so great shopping and eating.  In Castlecomer, 20kms for the city, the Discovery Park is a great location for children.  It has woodland play areas, adventure play ground, Tree Top Walk, Zipline and High Ropes, hobbit houses, a fairy village, and a fishing and boating lake.  You can spend a day here trying all the activities.  Over Easter there will be more activities like egg hunts, Alice in Wonderland fancy dress parade and face painting.
Visitkilkenny.ie for more things to do.

The Newpark Hotel knows how to look after families.  The hotel has so many activities you will hardly see the children as they go from the Krazy Kids club to the wildlife farm, use the go kart track, fly around the adventure playground, follow the fairy trail between dips in the pool and high tea. Mum and Dad can spend time in the spa area or watching the football and racing.  Easter special run from April 7 – 22 and  two nights for a family of four will cost from €205 per night  and includes dinner and high tea one evening, kids club and leisure facilities. Extra beds €25 per night. Flynnhotels.ie
h 
Wexford
Wells House and Gardens is a country mansion near Gorey that has been turned into a great destination for days out with families.  They charge €8 per car and on the estate you can enjoy the pet farm, following the walking trails in the woods, use the adventure play ground. Over Easter there is a full week of events, with workshops running daily for children during their school holidays and then Easter weekend starts on Easter Saturday with puppet shows, The Easter Bunny hosts his annual treasure hunt on Easter Sunday and we are joined by Electric Zoo on Easter Monday with their collection of animals.  Wellshouse.ie

Seafield House Hotel, Ballymoney, Gorey.
A great location on the coast means that you may have a dip in the seaor run on the beach with the children. During the Easter break there will be a kids club every day to provide entertainment. There will be nature walks, arts & crafts, Dancing, sports, mini Olympics and a movie each evening.  Children can have dinner with their friends from 6 – 7.30pm each evening.  Accommodation is in the main hotel or the family friendly courtyard suites where you can book a two or three bedroom suite with its own kitchen and sitting room.  From €427 for three nights.
Seafieldhotel.com, 053 9424000

More Easter breaks in Wexford on visitwexford.ie 
 
Westmeath
The Hodson Bay Hotel just gets better and bigger.  It is now more like a resort, there are so many things to do.  Over school holidays they always have a great kids activity club from 10am – 1pm and 6pm – 11pm each day and the children get lunch and dinner there.  The adults can play golf, use the spa go kayaking or just laze about.  Two adults and two children under 12 from €410 for two nights B&B, kids club and one dinner. Hodsonbayhotel.com.
Nearby in Athlone you can take a boat trip on the Shannon, go shopping, visit Athlone Castle or take a trip to the Glendeer Pet Farm, five kms away.  The oldest bar in Ireland is in Athlone – Seans Bar.
Northern Ireland
The mountains of Mournes are a beautiful area of this island and ideal for family holidays. Take the children hiking up the mountains or exploring the beautiful Tollymore Forest. The Silent Valley is always a good day out for an easy walk around the reservoir and has a long grassy hill to roll down.  The seaside town of Newcastle is a traditional place to walk on the beach, stroll the promenade, chomp sticks of rock and eat fish and chips.  The town of Warrenpoint has excellent fish and chips in the traditional Italian Genoa Cafe on the square. 
  
Now that Sterling is better value to the Euro your money goes further in Northern Ireland.  There is a big selection of accommodation in the Mournes, many converted farm cottages and house and now good value.  You can find a variety of inspected places to stay on discovernorthernireland.com.  Prices for a two or three night break from €250.

Glorious be unto divine love spell the man who make me see reasons that there are still real and genuine spell casters like him. since 3 weeks now i have witness what is called heart broken. my boyfriend that promised me marriage failed me and impregnate me and leave,he dump me,he stop calling" he stop picking my calls,and he no longer respond to me. I have be looking for solution,I fall into the hands of fake spell caster,they rough me off and took my money without help.I have cried,I have weep"and tears runs out of eyes. the silentness in my heart brought me to the deepest path of failure that I lost my job. crying all day,because my life was lonely. so thanks to DR EFUA who came into my life and brought me the greatest joy that was lost. i saw his web on efuaspelltemple@gmail.com while browsing and I contacted him, tell him what am passing through with no doubt because of what i saw about him,was enough to believe. and i was given words of solution on what to do. i can't really help thinking about it i have tried to see what i can do, i manage to provide him half of the money for the spell, and he help me with the rest. after casting the spell, 12hrs later, here comes my boyfriend with a rose flower on his hand and i was even about going out,i saw him in front of my door when he sees me he knee and said he is dying i should forgive him and accept him back he was crying,i can't wait to let him finish I quickly crab him and kiss him, just then" he said he is restless without me, just as the DR EFUA said it will be. he brought out a ring and put it on my hand. our wedding day was scheduled,1 week after we got married. today makes it a month and we are living happily I don't know how to praise him enough, he has done me a thing i can never forget in my life. and i can't really share to myself alone, I want you all to help me praise him because if it wasn't for him, i already plan of committing suicide. but right now am now so happy more than i was before. if you fine it difficult to get your ex boyfriend back, contact him via..... email efuaspelltemple@gmail.com also add him on whats-app +2347059014517

I got herpes from my ex boyfriend who never had any symptoms not untill when i payed a visit to the hospital for a proper checkup.I have had it for 6months now,and it so much affected my life.I have told my husband who I trusted about it and my life has never been the same,it really affected my new relationships with my husband.And more often People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health. The stigma attached to this virus by ignorant people is ridiculous. Most people have herpes in one way or the another. I would like to advise people on how i got rid of my herpes.i was reading a comment on the internet,and i saw a testimony posted by a woman from island that she got rid of her herpes with the help of great Dr christopherhobbs. so i was so happy when i saw that post,that his herbal medication is free.i quickly collect the herbal doctor email and i email him within 5hours he respond to my email.And then i explain things to him he told me not to worry that every thing will be fine which i never belived it would come to pass.He only request for little money that he will use to buy the items for the preparation of the herbal medicine, of which i sent to him because i was eager to get cured,after some days he told me that the herbal medicine is ready for me,that i should send him my address that he want to sent it to me DHL courier service and Within few days that was how i got the herbal medication.and i use it as i was told to. After 2 weeks and few days i found out that my herpes was no more.Then i had to introduce him to other set of people suffering from the same deadly disease and they also testified. Am a living witness today am so greatful for the good works he has been doing. so you can reach him through this email:drchristopherhobbs569@gmail.or call +2349053289227 hurry now to get your cure am a living testimony today.
