A perfect two night weekend break for stressed out parents

Want to hightail it away for a last minute weekend break? Esther N McCarthy fits in two counties, two hotels and lots of shopping.

WHEN one has children, one takes every opportunity to escape as fast as one’s legs will carry one. A last minute invite from two not-so-aged aunties, and a visa out of Cork for two nights equals train-trip to Dublin, baby.

Shopping was a priority so we stopped off in Kildare for some discount goodies. (www.kildarevillage.com.)
