Back home....on the shuttle to baggage claim

Long flight home.

Our last day in Leiden

View on our walk back from the train station

Our hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Nice views, though.

Excellent pancakes for dinner

Out front

In front of the secret annex

Anne Frank House

Amazing museum.

Waiting in line for Anne Frank's house

They provide free wi-fi while waiting in line. Genius!

Amsterdam Central Station

Girlie Jeep

We came across this jeep while walking to the bus from the beach.

Statue in front of Het Witte Kerkje (the White Church)

Just hold on a little longer

Burying Cailin.

Playing at Katwikj aan Zee

Fun sand, cold water.

Tired teenager

Too much fun!

CORPUS museum Leiden

This is a great museum next to our hotel about the human body.

Dessert--Australian ice cream

Dinner on the canal

Dinner of French onion soup, nachos, and spaghetti. Yum!

The girls in front of De Valk

Corn-grinding windmill which is now a museum.

Marlee "The Efficient Traveler" Grant

Marlee's new method for pulling her bag--attached to her backpack so she didn't need to use her hands.

We are staying at the new Hilton Garden Inn (opened last week) which is 2.3 km from the train station. A bit of a hike. The hotel is great, though.

Leiden train station

We are in Leiden, The Netherlands.

We found this cool chair in the train station. Old chair back and a round of wood.

Three stooges in front of the Bicycle Fountain in t' Zand Square, Brugge

Belfry tower Brugge

Yes...we had to stop...

The three Grant girls are in there somewhere!

What a cool bike

One way to pick your bike from the crowd.

Emma "Bike Crasher" Grant

Only one minor accident today--Emma misjudged the curb and crashed. Not even a scratch.

Insanity on two wheels

We rented bikes in Brugge today. What an adventure--dodging pedestrians, cars, and other bikes.

We stopped to enjoy Popsicles on a side street near the market.

We only last 3 of our rented 4 hours. The kids' seats weren't nearly as cushy as mine.

We went back in to the city and enjoyed the sights at a less crazy pace.

Seasoned travelers

We're heading to Brugge today.

Dinner while watching the Olympics

French fries and sausage.

Funny sign

Yummy!

Marlee with Cathedral of our Lady in the background

I am so happy!

Oldest building in Antwerp. Used to be used as a prison (until 1823).

Town Hall Antwerp

Balancing act

Big hand Antwerp

Even checked out a second hand shop today

Seasoned travelers

Notre Dame

We toured the cathedral and climbed the towers when we were in Paris last week. We walked around the Latin Quarter this evening and took this picture during our walk.

Dinner

Veg pizza in Tours, France....yummy.

We enjoyed take out in our hotel room while watching the Olympics.

Being silly

Girls....lift with your legs

Inside

La Roche-aux-Fées

This place is amazing.

Roundabouts

The roundabouts are growing on me. If you miss your turn, you just go around again--you just have to ignore the commentary from the back seat..."Mom, we're going in circles."
