We go to Amsterdam



This is a sign in front of the Rijks Museum.  On the end you can see T and N.  We really enjoyed the museum.  Afterwards though it rained and even though we had jackets we all got soaked.


This was a fountain that went up and down and if you timed the jump in at the wrong time you got wet.  Hubby found that one out the hard way.
Hubby wet from not jumping in at the right time.



We saw many paintings and sculptures.  The museum also had wedding dresses from the area.  It is interesting to see the fashion from different times and how it differs from the US during the same period.
We saw many famous artists, but lots form the Netherlands.  I love Amsterdam the architecture is beautiful.  The houses are so interesting.
The Conspiracy of the Batavians Under Claudius Civilis one of Rembrandt's most famous paintings was on display there.  It is not part of the permanent collection so we are lucky to get to see it.






The Night Watch


The museum is a work of art.  The building is stunning and the inside is just as beautiful as some of the pieces of art that it holds.
The outside of the museum and inside the hall that holds the Rembrandt's.
















What a fun day.  Doesn't N look like he is relaxed and having fun.  T on the other hand doesn't like having her picture taken so this is an amazing one to get.
Keep coming back to see the rest of our adventures in Holland and France.
