We have been back in the Netherlands from our
great American tour 3 days now. Three weeks away simultaneously felt like a lifetime and a hot second. I added it up and we saw exactly 100 friends and family members on this trip home (101 if we count the random Bowdoin grad we ran into on the street in NYC). It was a whirlwind to say the least, but we are so grateful to the friends and family who hosted us, visited us and met us half way. It meant a lot to see so many friendly faces, catch up in person and make new memories as a family of three in the US.
Three weeks of constantly being on the go and constantly being social left little time for blogging. So now that I'm finally caught up on Italy, I don't want to get behind again. So here's an idea. Let's sum up our three week trip in two blog posts. Ambitious, I know. Regretfully, I did not pull out my camera often enough to take photos of our visits. This is bad for my memory as I only seem to remember something happening if I have a photo of it, but good for the length of these blog posts.
