Amsterdam

For the last week and a half, Kevin and I (along with 6 other friends) went to Amsterdam. It is a beautiful city and we had a great time. My parents flew in from Ohio to watch Hayden and she did great without us. Here are some pics from our fabulous vacation! This picture shows the architecture of Amsterdam as well as how badly the houses lean.
Look closely and you will see the narrowest house in the world! It is just the width of a window (right above Kevin's forearm) People live in there!

We rented an apartment in the best neighborhood. The apartment was huge and easily fit all 8 of us!

These pics are just the downstairs. If you go upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

we did TONS of eating. This is at a breakfast place beside the flower market.

We rented a van and took a day trip to Bruges and Brussels, Belgium. This is me, Lauren, and Mandy in Bruges.

There is a church in the middle of Bruges that has a Michelangelo sculpture. It is very rare to see a Michelangelo outside of Italy - an unexpected neat find!

Acting silly in Brussels

Back in Amsterdam. This is outside of the Van Gough museum

Kevin, outside of Vondel Park, which is like Amsterdam's Central Park

Amsterdam is known for Indonesian food, so we went out to a fancy Indonesian dinner. It was one of the best meals I have EVER eaten!

French fries are huge in Amsterdam. You can go into this fast food place (Chipsy King) and get a paper cone filled with fries and topped with anything. Mayonnaise is bit on top of French fries, but I opted for cheese.

We took a canal tour. We also toured the Ann Frank house.

This is a parking garage filled with bikes. People ride bikes all over Amsterdam. You see them everywhere.

The canals are beautiful at night

Hello best breakfast in the world! This is a Dutch pancake filled with bananas, topped with shaved almonds and covered in chocolate. It was amazing!

Kevin and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary while we were in Amsterdam.

Do my shoes fit?

Hayden was on her best behavior for Grandma and Papa. Here is Grandma Kuhlman and Hay at Balboa park.
