Our first VACATION since the move.
Thursday we left for a three day vacation to Netherlands and Belguim. It was a German holiday... Sam had off ... so off we went! We started our little trip on Thursday morning (7am) and got to our first destination at 2p. Which I thought was pretty good with all the stops we had to make along the way with Kora! We went to the "MOST BEAUTIFUL SPRING GARDEN" show in the World at Keunkenhof, Holland. Most American tourists have flocked to visit Europe for decades, under the motto "If you haven't seen Keukenhof, you haven't seen Holland" So we decided to check it out! It was a beautiful garden.... but we got here about 1 week to late...most of the flowers were done. Family photo at Keukenhof Park
(thanks to the stroller for taking this picture)
Kora was not to sure about all the flowers - she wanted to sleep!!!
Again - Kora not wanting her pictures taken.

This was my... "who would have thought picture!"Straw bails were the hot seats at this park.
They even put backs on the bails so that you could sit up.
We spent the night in the town of Haarlem, (just outside of Amsterdam). We eat dinner around the Market Square in Haarlem and stayed at the Carlton Square. After dinner we walked around the town and enjoyed the towns best Ice-Cream stand - Garrone. (YUM)
The Grote Kerk - (great church in Haarlem) at the Market Square.
oh- no.. we forgot to try the Famous Poffertjes (little sugar donuts)
Oh-n0 ... we forgot to stop by the little town of Zaandijk for Kora's little wooden shoes.
Over all this day was good.. we had perfect weather, Kora did pretty good and we had a good relaxing drive. (we didn't know how the traffic would be with the Holiday) It would be like traveling on Memorial Day Weekend.. or July 4th Weekend.
