On our second day of travel, Sara and I left Germany behind and made our way into the Netherlands toward Amsterdam. The drive was nice and smooth until we were about 20 miles from the city. For some reason, a "brilliant person" decided to shut down the freeway leading into Amsterdam. (please note the sarcasm) Unfortunately our GPS, Ivan Jr., wasn't able to recognize that the freeway was shut down. We then spent the next hour trying to figure out how to get into Amsterdam. Thankfully, we were finally able to arrive in the city safe and sound.
When we got to our accommodations, a camp ground, Sara and I settled in and then walked/rode public into the city center. Our first stop was at Sara's Pancake House for a yummy lunch of pancakes. After that we went to the Anne Frank Museum and stood in line for 45 minutes before being able to enter. I had seen the museum about six years ago, but Sara had always wanted to go and see it (hence our reason for visiting Amsterdam). We then spent the remainder of the evening walking around the city and seeing different sites.

While we were taking our picture there was also a group of Americans.
One of them said, "Was she really that small?"...SERIOUSLY, common sense people! |
