June 21

Fathers Day
This day some of us decide to go our separate ways. My brother Eamon, Sister, Dad and kids take a ferry across Lough Swilly to Rathmullen an island across the way which consists of small fishing towns. I Julie and the kids head to Malin Head the most northern point of Ireland along the way we stop at Five Fingers Strand but because the weather is so bad we can hardly see anything out in the sea. The clouds fog and mist have put a slight hamper to our plans for the day. We head back to meet the rest of the gang and head to dinner. Just a short distance from the house is an old train station that has been converted into a restaurant. Funny thing about this restaurant is when this was a train station my Dad worked for the company (Swilly Railroad). Being Fathers day and having all his children, some grand children and sister around him, I know he was enjoying himself especially when he began to tell us all about the old photos of trains posted all over the walls of the restaurant.
