Back to Groningen

Monday brought us back to another train to make our way from Den Haag to Groningen.  It was a wonderful weekend and it is always sad when a holiday comes to an end...but I had some beautiful scenery along the way.  Did I mention how much I LOVE windmills??:)




 It was a beautiful sunny day and it was even still sunny outside when we got home to our front door and it was actually hailing while the sun was out!!  You gotta love this Dutch weather!!:)
Hail on our welcome mat

Home (For now):)

Today, we headed back to our home in The Netherlands...But not before I got a few quick pictures of the the gorgeous lobby area of the apartment we rented for the week...
Elizabeth told me the entry way reminded her of " The Sound of Music" and, the entry to the courtyard reminded her of "The Secret Garden".:)

Doesn't she look thrilled???!! 

Driving out of Berlin


 We made it home a few hours after we thought we would because there was so much traffic.  Guy did a great job navigating through the rain, and managed to drive about 140 MPH on the autobahn today.:)  We also managed to smuggle some German sausage safely back to our Dutch freezer...It is hardly an American Turkey (You can ask my friends about that!:)) but, we are proud to have gotten it safely to our own freezer.:)
German Sausage
The kids were so excited to get "home".  Elizabeth told us in the car that for a minute she forgot that we weren't going to our Houston house....just our "Netherlands" house.  But,  home is home, as long as we are together.:)  ( If you'd like to see our previous adventures in Germany (when the kids were little), click here and scroll down and click on "Germany" in the sidebar.):)
Until next time, Doei!:)
A few of the "treasures" the kids brought back from Berlin.:)
