Amsterdam in a nutshell

AMSTERDAM IN A PICTURE:

PERSON MOST LIKELY TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH FUN HERE: Jonathan Wilson! Ha ha…this is a test to see if he is reading the blog;) John was talking about planning a trip with Jonathan to go to Amsterdam to see the Avett Brothers–I quickly put the kibosh on that one after seeing the coffee shops, pubs, and prostitutes in the windows! For those Hampton Roaders–you will appreciate the WRV sticker we found on the side of the road.

*John was doing the hang ten signal but I missed that and thought it was a thumbs up

MEMORIES OF A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP: John and I went to both the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank Museum–pretty impressive for us–both of us tend to immediately get very sleepy when we enter a museum but these kept us awake! Just like high school, John was trying to hold my hand the entire time:)

MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF INJURY IN AMSTERDAM: Bikes! Man, bikes are everywhere.

JOHN’S FAVORITE PART OF THE TRIP: A day trip to a town, Haarlem, with beautiful canals and a small town feel. My honey is a sucker for a small town.

CAROLINE’S FAVORITE PART OF THE TRIP: The pancakes and poffertjes (little pillows of yummy goodness). This required an urgent email to Mary Stewart to get the belly band in the mail ASAP as my jeans were getting a little tight!!

We had a great time on our first excursion from London. We are heading to Dublin with another couple, Jay and Jen, this weekend for the 4th of July so will be sure to bring some American pride with us! Talk soon.
