Amsterdam

This is the third time I am trying to write about the trip John and I took to Amsterdam.  Our children...Mike, Carey, Steve, Adrienne, Sara, Dan, and David sent us for our 10th anniversary.  Dave did a great job running the Education Depot, and making sure Max  was okay. This was one of the first trips I returned from where I wasn't stressed out after I got home.
We could learn alot from the Dutch hospitality.  The inhabitants all speak English and are quite helpful. They are physically active and bike everywhere....and it shows. They enjoy  their Rjiks Museum and their "coffee" shops.  The Anne Frank House and the Heineken Experience. Menus are in numerous languages, something the downtown Chicago restaurants should consider.
The best part of the trip  was my traveling buddy and husband, John  His  mellow personalty and agreeable nature made the trip both relaxing and informative.   We shared drinks, food, experiences, and came home emotionally closer than before we left. We are already saving for our next travel experience.  Hoping that the places on our Bucket Lists are still  safe destinations by the time we are ready to go'
