A lot has happened over the past month since I've last posted. We've celebrated Easter, made a trip to Holland, moved houses (some things never change . . .), and are preparing for a BIG trip to Italy. Whew! Not all of these can be covered in a single post, so more will follow.
First up is Easter. Just a quick photo of Ian and Leah in their Easter finery before we made our way to church and the Easter Egg hunts.
On our trip to Holland, we stayed at a holiday park on the coast due east of Haarlem and Amsterdam. The park was pretty cool, it didn't allow cars inside except on Fridays and Mondays in which people were able to take luggage to and from their cottages. Pretty cool. After our trip to Zaanse Schans, an outdoor museum of sorts, I took a walk to the beach and found some wind surfers. The water must have been crazy cold, but these guys were enjoying the sun and the fun.
Here are Catherine and the kids in the middle of Zaanse Schans. It had several windmills, a cheese-making "factory" (DELICIOUS!!!), a wooden-shoe-making "factory", and several other nifty places to explore.
We had a GPS mis-hap. In the parking lot of Zaanse Schans getting ready to go home, we tried to start it up, but no dice. It was a scary 10 minutes or so where I thought I was going to have to navigate us back to our cottage with no earthly idea of how to get there.
It turned out okay - Catherine found a tiny reset button and away we went. Plus we took some tiny back roads home that literally followed the dikes and canals. It was the long way, but definitely worth the effort!
Tschuss!
Marc
