Yeah...a visit with aunt Hollie! We picked up Hollie from Duesseldorf the day after we got back from Hamburg. We just enjoyed a 10 day visit with her. It was so great! She flew out to help me get into the baby nesting phase while her husband Kirk took of time off work to do the stay-at-home mom thing. Thanks a million Kirk! What a guy! We had such a nice visit. We drove out to Maastricht, a little dutch town just over the border to visit one of our good friends we grew up with. It was so nice to see her and her sweet kids. Then we drove up to Amsterdam for the weekend while Mike stayed home with the boys. Thanks Mike! It was so nice to enjoy the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank house at a leisurely pace. The weather was sunny and warm and we couldn't have picked a nicer weekend to be in the Netherlands.
On Sunday we drove out to Lisse to enjoy the day at the Keukenhof Gardens. It really is the most beautiful spring garden in the world! The park is 32 hectacres and has several pavilions where they host flower shows. Of course, we couldn't walk the entire park but we enjoyed going to the wooden shoe shop, shopping in the souvenier shops and strolling through the amazing gardens. And everywhere you drive you see tulip fields even in towns miles away. It was so nice. After our visit to the gardens in Lisse, we decided to visit one of the nearby seaside towns. Because of the nice weather, it was extremely crowded so we opted for the driveby view. Check out our Amsterdam pictures.
