Bonjour France!










We had the priviledge of zipping to Paris for 2 nights to see the sights. The view from the Arc de Triomphe was vast and beautiful, Venus de Milo and Mona Lisa were exciting to behold, and the Eiffel Tower...need we say more, but viewed from the top and from our hotel room was amazing.

Sloopa & Oompa Visit







On March 26th Sloopa and Oompa arrived at Schipol airport and greeted their grandkids with big hugs. They posed by an aircraft engine before we drove back to Delft. To stay awake and get on the right time zone, we all walked around the market, braving the rain, enjoying lamb giros, and buying fresh fruit & flowers. Sloopa generously brought the whole family some thoughtful presents from the States.
