Our next adventure....

This time next week, Ryan and I will be on our next adventure.  After yesterday, and all the frustrating moments, our next adventure cannot come soon enough.  Russia has a couple holidays in the first two weeks of May.  May 1st-3rd is the Holiday of Spring and Labor.  We are using this long weekend as reason to hop on an airplane, and get away.

Where are we going?  Here are a few clues.....

Tulips are my favorite flowers.  

A very famous tulip garden is located here.
It is only open from March 22nd - May 22nd this year, perfect timing.

In honor of our upcoming adventure, I made a Dutch Baked Pancake for breakfast.

No picture for these clues........I really love CHOCOLATE.....Ryan really loves CHEESE.....RED seems to be a popular color..... they really enjoy their COFFEE SHOPS.........view some VAN GOGH....... afternoon CANAL cruising......followed by BICYCLES.....tour a famous SECRET ANNEX.....try on a pair of CLOGS.......and let the WINDMILLS spin.

We are going to AMSTERDAM (with a side trip to BRUSSELS)!
