Yay for Keukenhof, the Disneyland of Tulip Festivals, it is only open for 2 months during the year, and the last minute decision to head out of town to see millions of the county of Holland's biggest export (Tulips) was the best decision of the whole trip. There, I said it, Keukenhof was the #1 highlight of the entire trip.
Amsterdam: City of Canals, Bikes, and the Red Light District. Ooh La La.
We rented bikes to feel like a local.
"Look, Piper, no hands!"
We also took a canal boat tour, which was kind of lame, but unforgettable because our boat captian totally crashed into one of the walls of the canal and then blamed it on people sleeping in the back of the boat. 
On first inspection of this picture of my bike, it looks like a completely innocent scene. 
However, on closer inspection, it appears that a local locked their bike onto mine, leaving me with the only option of cutting them loose. I don't know if anyone stole their unlocked bike, but I was tempted to leave a "For Free" sign on it, but that Christian heart of mine got the better of me. Dang it. 
Waiting for a tour of the Anne Frank House.
Red Lights in Amsterdam can only mean one thing........I must say, walking around checking out those who participate in this shocking legal profession was definitely a highlight. Very interesting, and a must see. 
This city was so cool looking!
This trip was only made possible because of Rick Steves and Mom and Dad Johnston. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
