Ok ladies... I've been slacking on putting this on here because there were ALOT of pics to go thru! lol I seperated things out into 5 different sections so that if you didn't want to see all pics, you could at least see a few from each section. Oh and one of the sections is all short video clips of Madurodam.

First things first, we started off our Saturday (April 10, 2010) at a beach near Madurodam and Den Hague. It was a very pretty beach with a nice boardwalk area.

While we were at the beach we happened upon a couple that looked like they had just gotten married and were taking bride and groom wedding shots with a smidge of trash the dress thrown in:

From there we headed to Madurodam. All I can say about this place is it is well WELL worth seeing! Very cool and I loved all the details and moving parts and interactive bits!

Link to the movie clips (well worth looking at since it gives you a very good idea of the scope of the place and the details of all the moving parts etc): http://www.flickr.com/photos/35063852@N06/sets/72157623829354006/

The next day, Sunday April 11, 2010, we went to see a friend of ours play in a league baseball game. It was so wierd to see the Twins playing the Braves in April! lol It was a good game though with some very nice plays! Just a few pics of the game and some of a very cute cafe that we ate lunch at (darn it! Why are all these adorable places that I would love to have my reception at so far away?). Here's the link for that: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35063852@N06/sets/72157623833615486/

Today we went to the Keukenhof, but I'll post the pics for that either tomorrow or Wednesday since I have a TON and I want to do some seperations for that as well. I'm so sad that my time here in the Netherlands (for this trip at least) is almost to an end! I've had so much fun exploring things and Anton and I have found a few more things that we'd like to see, but it will have to wait until our next vacation here! lol

Thank you! So far as we could tell they had just gotten married. :) We saw several members of the wedding party both on the sand with them and up on the boardwalk. lol it's crazy how much fun I had taking pics of them and watching them take pics and video! I am DEFINITELY wedding obsessed... lol
