Hallo!
We saw so many fields of tulips yesterday and they were just beautiful! We saw a big NBC truck filming some of the tulips -- so look for that NBC special! We saw so many beig wooden windmills and a lot of wooden shoes that people just hang up on their doors outside. So cute! It is very beautiful here. Today we are driving to Belgium. Last night we ate at Hard Rock Cafe Amsterdam! Today is called Queen's Day , because it is the Queen of Holland's birthday. They are having big celebrations all over Holland --lots of carnivals and loud music and bands playing in the streets -- people dancing and wearing orange because that is the Queen Wilhemina's favorite color. It is going to be a wild and crazy place today and tonight so it is good that we are leaving today. We are driving to Belgium this morning. Oh -- we went to the Anne Frank house two days ago and I had to fight back the tears. It was very moving. Then yesterday we drove over to Haarlem and visited the Corrie ten Boom house and that was really inspirational. They had secret hiding places in their home and they hid lots of Jews and helped the Jews get out of the country during the war. I bought her book called THE HIDING PLACE. We are happy to hear from all of you and wish we could be taking you here to these places with us! It is really fun traveling with Jesse and Diane. We miss you and love you so much! Love, Mom and Dad
