Vacationing in Holland

My lovely bride and I celebrated 45 years of married bliss in the Netherlands. We are visiting with family and are seeing the sights. As this was our home-land for many years, we get around pretty well. We celebrated our anniversary with Joh's sister and her son in a nice restaurant in Zoutkamp.

The following weekend we met with the entire family in Emmen for a day at the zoo, with dinner following. All the kids had a wonderful time; do I need to say that we are all kids at heart?

Visiting Amsterdam we stayed at "De Poort," the old "seamen's home," which is part of the YWAM base in Amsterdam. We enjoyed revisiting many sights and people we knew form our previous visits and work activities here. We also had opportunity to visit Utrecht and Haarlem. Both very significant places in Dutch history.
