A little Dutch Inspiration
Got “the” photo in front of the sign |
Last week was our trip to the Netherlands. We got home safe and sound Sunday night.
I’m still trying to process it all little bit, but know that I want to share my experience there with you guys.
Tulips in Keukenhof |
I found the trip to be incredibly inspiring from a creative point of view. There is nothing quite like stepping out of your “comfort zone” to get the creative juices flowing.

This week I’ll share with you a bit of what I found inspiring there in hopes that it many inspire you also.

I will quickly say it’s my “best” trip overseas to date. I think it has something to do with traveling with someone who is fluent in the language and knows his way around.
My favorite part of the trip by far was watching my husband speak with the Dutch people. He really “lit up” talking to the locals and they all seemed impressed that an American spoke such fluent Dutch. Seeing him so naturally interact with everyone there was by far the highlight of the trip for me.

Looks like a wonderful trip, those tulips look gorgeous!
Looks like a fun trip :o) I took Dutch for a year at uni (it was an odd schedule filler credit thing) and I can vividly remember the masters student that was teaching us (who was Dutch) saying in our very first class ‘Why on earth do you want to learn Dutch? We all speak about 5 languages fluently, especially English’ Right enough, most of the Dutch teens we used to meet camping in France did, because they can pick up BBC TV over there!
glad you are back safe and sound. it does make a difference when someone in the group in fluent in the language.
glad you had a safe and fun trip!! Looking forward to seeing you travel journal and your new tutes! Have a good day!!
I would love to visit the Netherlands!! I’m glad you had a great trip.
So sweet that your husband was the highlight of your trip! Lucky wife to be so tickled by seeing her hubby interact with others.
