So, the last 4 weeks has pretty much been a blur to me, and I am still trying to recover from jet lag.
Since Sept 1st I have flown to LA, drove to Las Vegas (with the whole family), entertained 10 kids and 9 adults at our beach house at the coast, then 2 days later headed last minute to Holland to meet up with my parents and brother.
Now don't think it is over yet...I head to New York in about 2 1/2 weeks then 2 days later to Florida where my baby bro is getting married. Obviously the trip to Holland was amazing and an experience that I will never forget, and was worth the trip. On the way home home I had an 8 hr flight to NY, then the 6 hr layover in NY and lastly a 6 hr flight home to Portland. My own bed has never felt so good before.
Instead of words, I will let the images speak of my wonderful journey to Holland. Home of my heritage, and home to many relatives that I had never met before and who welcomed us with open arms. I ate a lot and smuggled home 2 HUGE wheels of yummy dutch cheese and lots of yummy treats.
(p.s. most of landscape images were taken with my iphone)
