We flew to Amsterdam and arrived safe and sound. Here is our AIRBNB! Elly was our host and she was super sweet.
Our view from the front steps....ummm yes please!
We didn't do anything the night we arrived except grab some food. It was late and we were tired bears. Sleepytime!

Amsterdam is amazing! We absolutely love it! Honestly, Venice was not quite as I had pictured and Amsterdam made it all better. The canals are everywhere and bikes rule the city. Seriously, you have to look out for them constantly or you'll get run over! There's tons of awesome shopping and it doesn't feel touristy.
Crepes for breakfast! I hadn't had a crepe before Europe and they are super amazing!
We had the most perfect weather! Chilly for Fall!
Vlaams - best fries in Amsterdam told by some...
Waterloopleinmarkt Market - an awesome Vintage Market! We discovered that pretty much all the markets are vintage and there are tons of vintage clothing stores all around the city. My kind of shopping. YESSSSS.
Apple pancake! Pancakes, or pannenkoeken, are a common Dutch food
but are not usually eaten only for breakfast...you can
get them all day long!
Magere Brug - last operating drawbridge in Amsterdam.
Paws! Kittens with Courtney!
Travel tips from Cody: "If you're short on luggage space, skip the swimsuit and go to Barcelona!"
Presents for the babies!

Vondelpark!
Albert
Cuypmarkt in De Pijp District. Location of the famous
stroopwafel!!! Oh my goodness I want one of these every day of my life!
They are like super thin sugary waffles with sugary filling inside...I
have no idea what it is but it's fantastic!
Kibbeling - pieces of white fish (cod) dipped in batter, then deepfried.
Poffertjes (small pancakes served with powdered sugar). Delicious doesn't begin to describe it!
Roemer Visscherstraat – street with houses from 7 countries
Hannah!!! Look what I found!
All our goodies from the day :)
From Elly!
