Thanks for the memories

It has been a BUSY couple of days! We said goodbye to our dear friend Michelle and headed to Amsterdam on Thursday. What a city...we enjoyed great weather, wonderful Dutch hospitality and the spoils of life in the Netherlands.

We arrived too late in the day to see much on Thursday but we did check into our B&B (amazing) and enjoyed a quiet evening in while watching the Dog Whisperer and The Devil's Own.
Brad Pitt is fitting even on vacation.

Friday was nuts. We mustered all the energy we had to see the state museum, Anne Frank house and the impressive Van Gogh collection here in Ams. We saw all of these sites via rented bicycles which was fantastic. A great way to see the city but also very tiring and at times a bit frightening thanks to traffic rules. After the three biggies we made our way toward the Red Light District. No photos to post from that (our cameras would have been thrown in the canal) but suffice it to say we had a few laughs and could have people watched for hours! The night ended with a long ride back through Vondel Park and McDonald's veggie burgers (YES!)

Today we finished our trip with more museums, more art and a canal tour. We flew to London where we will crash for the night then head home tomorrow!
