Historical Amsterdam: A Home, A Market, A Palace
by Krista | Dec 22, 2010 | Plucky Thursday
Yesterday started off deliciously lazy. We slept, had a leisurely breakfast, rested on Melissa's oh-so-comfy couches, and visited. By early afternoon we'd had quite enough of laziness and were ready for adventures. Ry and Melissa were at work and Ev and Kendra had...
Cold Winter Shopping and Hot Sandwiches in Amsterdam
by Krista | Dec 21, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday

by Krista | Dec 21, 2010 | Gulliver Tuesday
Yesterday was cold, snowy and absolutely GORGEOUS as we tramped through Amsterdam, clinging to each other to keep from falling on our backsides. We decided that such a heavy snowfall required a walk in Vondel Park, a beautiful expanse of water, trees, and bench-dotted...

by Krista | Dec 16, 2010 | Plucky Thursday
Hello luvs! Phew. What. A. Week. It's been good but golly, I'm tired! Tomorrow cannot get here fast enough. Normally the idea of a 9 hour flight seems a bit daunting, but right now it sounds like pure bliss. 9 solid hours of just sitting there, sleeping, reading,...

by Krista | Dec 15, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday
The night was cold and drizzly as I loaded up ingredients, purse, and slippers, and dashed from my car to my friend Don's house for cooking club this week. We were a small group since most folks were busy with family and last minute work projects, but it ended up...
A Blog Challenge: Winter Getaways!
by Krista | Dec 14, 2010 | Gulliver Tuesday
Warm seas, hot sand, salty breezes. These are the things that occupy my dreams when frost coats my windshield and icy winds find cracks to blow in through my house. At such moments I can close my eyes and remember the bounce of a catamaran over the waves just off the...
