Europe Trip - Amsterdam, Holland

Taking a little cat nap on the train

I have always dreamed of going to Holland to see the gorgeous fields of tulips so when I heard that there was a place called Keukenhof Gardens I knew that I couldn't miss it since I probably wouldn't be able to see it again. We missed the train some how, but we were able to catch the next one so it was alright. When we arrived we were able to book a hotel which was in a really nice neighborhood that was close to the Van Gogh and Rembrandt museums. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to visit the museums. Before we headed off to the Keukenhof we walked around the city to get some lunch. After lunch we took a couple of buses to get to the gardens. Here are some pictures

After lunch we headed off to see Keukenof which is basically Disneyland, but just filled with tons of beautiful flowers. This is mostly a picture post so enjoy!

Awesome windmill

Beautiful fields of tulips!!



So peaceful and beautiful

We literally spent hours here and I absolutely loved it. I could of stayed all day. As Gary said I had the biggest smile on my face. :) I have such a wonderful husband. It was totally worth it!

Next stop Brugge, Belgium!
