I Went to Amsterdam

After close to a dozen trips through the Amsterdam airport, I finally went into the city. Mama and I took a long layover trip exploring the city. The day was beautiful for taking a tour of the canals, walking the streets, and shopping, with a quick stop for ice cream.

Blood Orange & Yogurt Ice Cream and a beautiful street corner with climbing ivy and flowers.

Bright blue hydrangeas and Elvis street art.

An inviting corner cafe I wish we had time to try.

One of the many house boats lining the canals. Wouldn’t it be so fun to rent a house boat?!

One day wasn’t nearly enough time to see the wonders of Amsterdam, but I know I will go back sometime soon. There are so many museums I’d love to see and a huge library that I wouldn’t mind getting lost in for an hour or two. Have you been to Amsterdam before? What was your favorite part?

Scenes from a sunny day in Amsterdam while we sat and drank a coffee.

Rose & Cardamom Hot Chocolate at our fave new cafe in Edinburgh, Scotland: Lovecrumbs (don’t you love the gold mug tea cup?!).

First stop when we got to Aberdeen? Lunch at Foodstory. Aside from being an adorable little shop and having an ever-growing selection of gluten-free baked goods (we tried a lemon blueberry pound cake that was delicious), their daily soup offerings are fabulous.

More (non-instagram) pictures to come and maybe a story or two.  In the meantime, I’m watching the Olympics on TV in real time. Jealous?
