Holiday Tidbits

If I didn’t know better I’d think there was a war taking place in Rotterdam these past few days.   As we get closer to the New Year, more and more fireworks are being sold in the city, and more people are setting them off early.   It starts in the early morning with the firecrackers and [...]

My New Favorite Thing

When we were in Canada we were at my sister’s place for a few evenings to visit.  While we were there, one of the things I loved most was her fireplace… it made her livingroom so cozy and really added to the atmosphere.  Of course, I couldn’t stop thinking about it since.
I never really knew [...]

Proof!

This restaurant has been famous on the Internet for years.  You can see photos of it on pretty much every site that deals with funny pictures… especially of road signs and billboards.
Anytime I’ve told people that I’ve been there, they’ve never believed me.  So now I have proof.

The A&K Lick-A-Chick is about a 5 minute [...]

The traveling was long and tiring but we are finally back in the Netherlands and battling our jet [...]

My Second Day in Canada

I’m so behind on these updates but I’m enjoying my time away too much to spend time behind my computer. I can’t believe a week has gone by already! My cold is almost gone, all I have left is that annoying ‘tickle’ cough which usually stays with me for ages. [...]

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane!

I have so many pictures already, I am not sure where to start.  So I’ll start with the flight over here.   I’m not going to type much because I’m sick as a dog with a cold and just took some meds and am sleepy already.   Trust me to get sick as soon as I get [...]

I’m Here!

We made it to Canada safe and sound.   After a loonnnng time traveling (approximately 22 hours from our house to my parents) we are now in Canada and finally adjusted to the time difference.  It’s weird to look at the clock on my laptop right now and see 11:05am when it’s 6:05am here.
We’ve [...]
