From The Hague to Amsterdam - August 5th

 Madurodam...a favorite stopover on the way to Amsterdam. Miniature replicas featuring  many of the famous landmarks in the Netherlands. Located in the Scheveningen district of The Hague, visitors view replicas of famous Dutch castles, public buildings, Schiphol Airport, the Peace Palace, an amusement park and much more. Emilie enjoyed spending time in the playground following our tour. A final stop for a photo standing in a pair of  over sized Dutch klompen and then we were off to Amsterdam.


We took a boat ride along the canals of Amsterdam; although the clouds threatened the day with rain, it didn't come until today.

The Five Flies (built in 1627) was a restaurant Chuck and I went to on our honeymoon. Whenever we return to Amsterdam we try and have dinner there. Now we are making memories there with our grand kids.

  1. Hi Claudia. Looks like you guys are having fun. Emily seems so happy. Looks pretty cool to see the threatening sky in your picture. The time seems to be flying so fast. Enjoy.
