Now that their vacation is over, maybe they can rest

Well, that was quick. Kirsten and Josh have returned home, but we tried to cram in as much as possible while they were here. After the trip to the model village in The Hague, we toured the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and made a trip out to the Keukenhof Gardens to see the tulips.

In addition to the beautiful flowers, we also saw an actual Dutch gardener wearing actual wooden clogs:

Of course, one of the main reasons Rob likes returning to the Keukenhof is for the Belgian Waffles, which he happily introduced to Josh:

The day before they left had probably the nicest weather of the year here in Amsterdam and we celebrated by making a second trip along the canals on the boat. And no trip to Amsterdam is complete without a trip to our favorite Dutch jenever bar for a glass of the traditional Dutch drink in the traditional fashion:

And finally, we celebrated Easter weekend with a quick trip to lovely Scotland. We'll get another, Scotland-centric post up tomorrow, but until then, here are Erika and Kirsten checking out a couple of swans in a moat around a 13th century castle:

It was fantastic seeing Kirst and Josh and we hope they had as much fun as we did. See you guys again this summer!
