Our first family outing in our new country did not disappoint. We headed out to the countryside of Utrecht late one Saturday afternoon to visit de Haar Castle, a medieval fortress and largest of its kind in The Netherlands. Instead of spending what little daylight we had left on a guided tour, we opted to roam the old gardens, enjoy the foliage, and chase Graham around the pastures. And yes, we did stop to pinch ourselves quite a few times. The history behind this fairytale-like castle will save for another day. In the meantime, enjoy our first glimpses of The Netherlands!

Like a kid in a candy store. This little boy ran sprinted to see "bucky, bucky". |
