Drink Up

Yesterday my friend Petra and I decided that since it was St. Patrick's Day, what better way to spend it than to go to the Heineken Factory in Amsterdam! The "Heineken Experience", as it is called, was way more than I expected it to be! It was so cool and we had such a great time! We were there for hours just having fun with all the things they had there to do! I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Amsterdam :) Now I'm not a big drinker, but when at the Heineken factory, it's kind of a thing you have to do. So we drank, drank, drank!

Here's a video I put together of our day at the factory:

Petra and I had too much fun with these face in hole picture things. We were at that place in the tour for a long time haha

 

Here we got to see how the beer is brewed! Pretty sweet

 

This guy had the most amazing mustache ever. He deserves an award for his mustache. I just had to take a picture with him.

 

 

Just a Few Things

Hey everybody! Sorry I've been somewhat absent from my blog lately! I try to write in it and post things as much as I can, but sometimes there's just nothing to post about. I've had a lot of "normal" days lately. Since I've been feeling a lot more "at home" recently, most of the stuff I've been doing is nothing too exciting to write about - taking care of the kids, making dinner, going to my dutch lessons, catching up on some Netflix... stuff like that! But I do have a few things that are coming up that are very exciting to me!

• Heineken Factory tour tomorrow
• Switzerland in 11 days
• my birthday in a little over a month
• Germany at the beginning of May
• Sydney is coming at the end of May
• 3 day concert in June

So as you can see I've got a lot to look forward to - and a lot I have to be saving up for! So some weekends and week nights I just stay in so I don't spend money - which is completely fine by me because then I can skype and catch up on reading and watch some TV/Netflix. I'm just looking forward to everything that's coming up in the near future... INCLUDING the weather. The past couple days it hasn't necessarily been too cold - but the on again off again snow and rain plus the really strong wind makes it feel like your face is so cold it's going to break into pieces. But I've been looking at the weather forecast on my phone just about every day hoping to see a little sun icon on the horizon - and I finally see one! The end of next week should be warmer and sunnier! Fingers crossed the weather doesn't change before then! Well I hope you all are having a great spring break and enjoying your nice weather! I love you all and hope to write on the blog soon enough! Have a great St. Patricks Day tomorrow :)

Small Town, Big People

So today I went to Madurodam with a friend. It was probably one of the coolest places I've ever been - no joke! I felt like a little kid in this place, which is pretty funny because I looked like a giant! Madurodam is this closed off place in the town Den Haag, where a bunch of buildings and cars and people and places are replicated from places around the Netherlands, and then made miniature! Everything is so tiny, I felt like Godzilla walking around all the little towns and villages. (So I had to take some Godzilla appropriate picture of course!)
