What an amazing trip…….there was SO much that this post will be a work in progress so if you’re interested in this trip keep checking back:)

In the summer, Amsterdam is in full bloom.

40% of people who live in Amsterdam ride bikes EVERYWHERE!  It’s awesome!

Part of the charm of Amsterdam is the water.

And bridges!!

In Germany, the Köln Cathedral is definitely a “not-to-miss” sight!

Our hotel in Köln.  Not the greatest but in a cute area.

Papa Joe’s Jazzmen entertained us on our last night in Köln and it was AMAZINGLY fabulous and fun! Met so many fun and interesting people.

The countryside in my mothers hometown of Bad Münstereifel.
