Volendam!
We had a great time on this day! We went to Volendam to shop for souvenirs!! Woo-hoo! It is one of the best places to get souvenirs because there are a ton of options at a decent price. We also went into a little photo studio that dresses you up in traditional Dutch clothing and g
ives you some props to hold. It turned out really cute! Laena got to hold the accordion, I got the basket of flowers, and Tante Marianne got to pour the kettle. That made a great souvenir for each of us, plus our mom, and Oma.
We also picked up some new wooden shoes for Ardella and Dad. After shopping around for a while, Tante Marianne and I took a "koffie tijd" while Laena continued shopping. She came back with these huge bags filled with 15 pairs or so of slippers that look like wooden shoes! It was pretty funny, and she made the store keeper really happy!
We took the back roads home which are even smaller than the regular roads. They really are not meant for modern day cars, only one car can drive through at a time. It was a pretty drive though, and there was a beautiful sunset to greet us when we got home. Then we sat back and watched a movie to complete the day.
