The first week was still pretty busy at work given the Go Live, but was more manageable than the week before. Friday evening we picked up Bambi, Marianne, Sallie and Rachel from the train station. Rachel is student teaching in Germany and the Aunts came over to visit. Once we all got back to the apartment, we chatted for a bit and went to bed (it had been an extremely long day for the ladies!!) On Saturday, I took them to Delft as it is the epitomy of a Dutch town. That evening we went to our favorite little Italian restaurant here in Wassenaar. (Its our favorite not only because of the good food, but it is also walking distance, so you can enjoy your wine with dinner - and we did!!). We had dessert once we got home after dinner. I finally went into the bakery downstairs with them and we bought some little pastries....yummmmm...good thing I didn't discover the backery earlier!! On Sunday we took them back to the train station and made our way to the airport. Back to the US for us. We spent Sunday night - Thursday morning in Lexington. We took care of the house, got hair cuts and massages and vistied with family. Then boarded a plane for Atlanta. We enjoyed a great weekend with Ricky and Lisa. We celebrated my birthday on Friday at a great steak restaurant. (Although I probably won't be returning as I had one too many drinks - it was the Jager I swear). On Saturday we went to a Halloween party. Yes, I dressed up, evidence is below!!! Sunday and Monday were spent relaxing! We did do a little shopping in the meantime.
We arrived back to NL on Tuesday morning and went to work. On Saturday morning (EARLY) we flew to Spain for the Sales & Distributor meeting. I think every child in NL was on that plane with us....the kids were everywhere and definitely misbehaving. I am not sure the parents cared at all what the kids were doing. It was AWFUL... But Spain was nice. We had Sat and Sun to relax before everyone got there. The weather was fantastic. Though it was a long week of meetings, it ended with a 2 hour break laying in the sun on Friday!! Not a bad way to end the trip......And we finished the month off in NL.
Yes, October came and went.....but we sure had some fun!!
