Amsterdam Wrap Up

Beyond the tulips, we loved our time in Amsterdam. 
We walked everywhere and just really enjoyed the city. 


Souvenir shoes!

Loved seeing all the bikes. Some people carried 3 or more kids in this type of basket. Pretty impressive! I would have to improve my biking skills before living in Amsterdam!
The bike lot near the train station - crazy amount of bikes!

Our hands down favorite Amsterdam snack - the stroopwafel. So yummy. 

We loved the Van Gogh museum. They had a "treasure hunt" for kids that was perfect for all of us! Chelsea loved finding each painting and filling out the answers. At the end, they got to choose a postcard of their favorite painting. 
Farewell, Amsterdam!

Time for Tulips

About a month ago, we headed to Amsterdam just in time to see the amazingly beautiful tulips before they are gone for the year. This has been on our European to-do list since we moved here. Last year, we had a trip booked, but then Logan was born instead. A great trade off, of course! This year, we decided to try again and loved very minute of our time in the Netherlands. 

We spent a day at Keukenhof, one of the largest (the largest?) flower gardens in the world. It was tulip heaven and oh-so-beautiful at every turn. 


There was a playground, as well. Always a bonus!
