Worldly Chatter

Edam and Volendam; Delft, Den Haag and Scheveningen. These are two days of touristy stuff for the family coming over for our wedding! Since Edam and Volendam are close together, tourist hot spots and Edam was mentioned as a must see we are making these two towns a one day trip. Same as Delft, Den Haag and are going to try and squeeze in Scheveningen. They are only here for a week and while Holland is small, it isn’t THAT small! There really is so much to see and we want them to get in as much as they can but I fear they will need another trip to get more!

They plan on staying three days in Amsterdam so that’s all set. Amsterdam is definitely a few days kind of town. Dad wants to go to Arnhem, more like a need, and that’s a bigger town with a lot of history and stuff to see so that will be a day trip all on its own. Dutchie has been home sick so tomorrow after her blood work is done she is looking up museums in Arnhem and trying to put together a rough sketch of what will happen when they land in a month and a half! She is so stoked about showing them her country and I can’t help it but be right in there with her on the excitement! I call this home and now I can show off all I know, and don’t know, and what I love about here! Its great stuff!

Imagine you have a friend coming over from another country, you would want to show off your home and squeeze in all you can right? Well, that’s what we are trying to do. Not sure it will work but we are determined to try! Dutchie is so excited about showing off Den Haag and I just want them to see all the neat stuff I saw! The palace where the queen is, the government and even the museums, there really is a lot to Den Haag!

They will stay four days in Hilversum when they arrive and that’s the place they plan on staying is around the corner from our home so it’s perfect. They will be at our wedding! I still can’t get over that part! Must plan! Must, must, must!
