It’s Friday! I hope you all are as excited for the weekend as I am!
We left Paris Sunday afternoon and drove about 5 hours to a small town outside of Dusseldorf, Germany for Dan to be ready for work on Monday morning. We have been here all week and I am starting to get antsy! There is only SO much you can do by yourself during the days with no car in a little German town.
We decided to check out Amsterdam for the weekend, and should be on our way here shortly! It’s only about a 2 hour drive, so we will be arriving this evening. I am super excited to see all of the beautiful canals that run through the city, and maybe I can even talk Dan into taking me on a little romantic boat ride. 😉
I am sure we will get the opportunity to visit Amsterdam again, so we aren’t going to try to squeeze everything in tomorrow.The one thing I definitely want to check out is the Anne Frank House. It is the actual home where Anne Frank and her family fled to from Nazi Germany and hid for two years during WWII. She wrote her journals there and it has now been turned into an exhibit/museum. I think that it will be an eye opening, yet emotional experience re-living and and learning more about Anne Frank’s story as well as that horrific time in history. I am sure I will get some amazing pictures and information to share with you after our visit!
For some reason, there has been an issue with uploading pictures on my site. I still have some awesome photos from Cologne, Germany and Luxembourg that I haven’t had the chance to post,but hopefully the technical issue will be fixed soon. I will post an update when they are uploaded into the categories on the homepage so you can check them out!
I hope that you all have a safe and great weekend!
Cheers!

Van Gogh Museum is worth an hour of your time, short stroll from City Center
Have an amazing time in Amsterdam. Loved your post as always and can’t wait to see pics!!
Have fun in Amsterdam. Hope you can get the photos up soon. Have you had a lot of rain? We have had 4 inches in the past 4 hours here in the DC area due to tropical storm Andrea. I heard that Europe has had more rain than usual.
