I posted some details of our journey on my Facebook page so I wont go into much detail. Let's just say we survived an epic midnight vomit, kitchen ant invasion, flight delays, bad weather, wild turbulence, missed connections, and three flights, to arrive safely in Amsterdam. The kids were amazing and I am so proud of them for handling every mishap with positive attitudes! It was wonderful to see Andrew's smiling face as we stumbled out of the airport. After getting settled into our lovely apartment, we ventured out into the town to treat ourselves to some french fries and ice cream. Just what everyone needs after 24 hours of traveling! Eli and I agree with Andrew, that mayonnaise on french fries, is awesome!! Emma will be sticking with good old ketchup. With ice cream cones in hand we walked down to see the Sea. Emma couldn't wait to get her toes in the water.

On our way back to the apartment we stopped by the grocery store to pick up a few things. You must provide your own bags, you must bag your own groceries, and you must pay with either cash or debit card. We picked up a few things we could identify and even scored a jar of peanut butter!

Then it was back home to settle in for the evening and figure out how to use the washing machine!
Looks yummy. You rock!
