Escapades in Europe

This year we celebrated Phil finishing his boards with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe. We hit the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. It seems like everything in Europe is magical, and I'd go back in a heartbeat! Staying in Haarlem, just down the street from my grandmother's childhood home was so special. I loved seeing the land of my ancestors. Plus, exploring Brugge and Paris was the best weekend ever!

Unfortunately, after my trip, I lost my phone, so some of my photos seem to have disappeared. However, I was able to recover some of the best highlights. Not pictured are the mountains of bread and cheese we ate (plus heaps of chocolate), all the beautiful miles we pedaled bikes in Holland, the thousands of masterpieces we saw in museums, and the hours spent on trains.

Europe, I love you!
