Amsterdam

We had a lot of fun taking Linda's Mom to see the sites of Amsterdam. It is a city of canals which I did not realize. If you are not aware, the house of Anne Frank is in Amsterdam.  We were able to go tour through their home.  It is amazing they lived in this home, their secret hiding place, for two years.  Here is some pictures of Amsterdam. Enjoy!

Of course, tulips in Amsterdam
Don't like your house, try a house boat on the canal

Keukenhof - Amsterdam

Hi, sorry it has been a while. Things have gotten very busy at work.  I am going to try to catch-up and stay up with things as we travel.  I am writing this to you as we wait for our flight in Jersey, the Channel Islands.   This trip to Amsterdam was taken in early April with Linda's mom who was with us the entire month.  While we were in Amsterdam, we visited with Karsten's parents.  I was going to be showing you pictures of the Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam and then I will share with you some Amsterdam pictures. Thanks for looking.  Have a great day.

The flowers are making a picture, what is it?
Color abounds!
We are in the Netherlands, here is our Windmill!
Just a very small sampling of all the flowers at Keukenhof Gardens.  It is only open a very short time every year.

Now what picture were the flowers making, the head of the Statue of Liberty.

Now for the British word. What is Monkey Nuts?  It is peanuts.
