Today we headed into Amsterdam. We were all very excited to head into the city. We saw a ton of great sights and ate delicious pannekoek for dinner.
Freezing today...a rare occurrence on this trip.
We arrived at the P+R (park and ride) to find the trams were on strike until 3pm. On to Plan B, driving into Amsterdam.
Dad's parking job today. Pretty impressive. Thank goodness for the rail.
Cars just keep getting smaller in Amsterdam.
We found a wolf for cousin Kyle. There are tons of weirdos here, just like in SF.
Hannah and Grandpa Klaver-we found a Spartan fan in Amsterdam. See, Amsterdam isn't all that bad Grandpa.
The Royal Palace
This is how you buy Macs in Europe. At the MacHouse.
A beautiful houseboat with flowers.

Can you find Jackie and Melissa?
Where's Waldo?
Can you find us now?
We went to the Van Gogh Museum. A dream come true for an art major.
Brothers!
It's a duck...Amsterdam style.
Rijks Museum and I amsterdam
It's Melissa!
We went to the Blonde Amsterdam shop. They had awesome things inside this shop.
A wooden shoe boat.
The sticker says it all.
Beautiful flowers in the market.
This no bikes sign doesn't seem to matter if you put stickers over it.
Thanks to the wonderful recommendation of Ashley Wyatt, we headed to The Pancake Bakery for dinner. It was delicious.

Grandpa's meal. Shh...don't tell Grandma about all that ice cream, chocolate, and sugar.
Nutella and Banana. My delicious meal.
Look! They have frozen yogurt, just like in California.
Oudekerk. It was near a shady area of town, so we had to be careful.
Here is a clue as to what area of town it is near. Needless to say, we only went to see the church.
On the way out of town we saw a huge cruise ship. It was the biggest ship I've ever seen.

Looks like you are having a well deserved vacation and making some wonderful memories. Enjoy and thanks for including those of us in the states with your blog postings.
Pancake bakery! I think we had that ice cream creation too! I am so glad you went there.... but remember originally it was a vintage Rachel Ray find from 40-dollars-a-day.
