European Vacation: Just the Highlights

Many of you know that my husband, Dan, and I went on a European Vacation (not quite National Lampoon style though). We spent a week in the Netherlands, and then we met up with the choir of which I am a part and toured Belgium and France. It was quite the experience. This week, I thought I would introduce our journey through some photographic highlights.

All set for Amsterdam!
