Ahhh...a weekend in Holland

Texas is a big state, and I am from the middle of it. That means I can drive four hours in any direction and I will still be in Texas. Here, after four hours of driving, I can be in Holland! 

Recently I went to the Keukenhof Gardens near Lisse in the Netherlands.  The Gardens are only open for about two months, and it's almost the end of the season. You wouldn't know it by looking at the flowers, though:










I was in Amsterdam, too, but not for nearly enough time. I want to go back! 

I love the canals!




Next time I will go to the Anne Frank house...this is the church whose bells Anne could hear from her hiding place.

More canals, more bicycles

    Love these photos! I can't believe those gardens are only open for two months... what do those poor tulip gardeners do for the rest of the year??

    Also I nominated you in the Liebster and MeMe blog games over at http://heathergoesdeutsch.blogspot.de/2012/05/liebster-meme-and-so-on.html
    Hope you pass them on! :)

    @Lynn--I want you to live there so I can visit you!

    @Kelli--cool! I'll have to check your blog. :)

    @Heather--thanks for Liebster and MeMe! That's awesome! I am going to be heading your way next week for a field trip with a couple of busloads of fifth graders; it should be a blast ;)
