Canal Tours in Leiden

Monday, August 4th we celebrated Coast Guard Day by boating down the canals in Leiden. We weren'r sure how H & L would do on a five hour excursion, but we were pleasantly surprised by their stamina and interest. We ducked under low bridges where everyone had to "hit the deck", the kids "drove" the boat, we met some other Coastie families, and enjoyed a picnic half way through the trip. Unexpected sun and a little wind made it the perfect day to cruise on the water.
