Less than 48 hours after arriving back to the UK Glenn and I were air bound again- this time flying to Belgium to spend a little time with my brother’s family (it seems like we like them). We had a great time, which invariably means that I took an ungodly amount of photos to document the occasion (over 2000. I think its a sickness).
Over the weekend we all jumped in the car and drove up to Holland. We spent the evening in Rotterdam.
Side note: When Glenn and I first started dating he was working as an engineer sailing on ships. Our first long distance trial came a couple weeks into our relationship when he went to sea for several months-docking for some time in Rotterdam. As a result I’ve always been a little curious to see this port town.
The next morning we visited Keukenhof- the largest bulb flower park in the world. It was beautiful.
It’s been an unusually warm spring, so when we arrived many of the tulips had already been cut. However, we still saw plenty of beautiful flowers. I remember coming to Holland when I was pretty young- about 6 years old- and all I wanted to do was smell each.individual.flower.
Now I just photograph them.
A little hint: if you ever want to meander slowly around a flower garden with a group, make sure you bring small children with you. Then, instead of your incessant photo taking being obnoxious, it’s just endearing. (This mostly helps when you’re taking pictures of your group’s children instead of your own)
See? Even you think it’s adorable right now.
Point proved.
To those grandparents who are wanting hard copies of these pics: I take payment in the form of dark chocolate reeses cups. just saying.
