The Peak Family Vacation (Girls Only)

Our first house guests. Amanda and her Mom (Beth) were the first to make it to our new home. This was their first trip to Europe and I am glad they chose to come to Amsterdam. Amy and I would like to say thank you for visiting us. It is great to see good friends and to be able to share in a great experience for the two of you.

The girls were able to visit Amsterdam for a few days. They were able to go to some of the Museums, Ann Franks House, and a canal tour. We did take them to the Red Light district one night so they could see it with their own eyes. I tried to warn them but we turned one corner and Amanda almost jumped out of her skin. She was not expecting the girls to be right there! She composed herself quite well and we continued with our tour. Beth was wondering where the boys in the windows were. Beth, I still haven't found them and I will not be putting much effort into it...Sorry.

If anyone didn't know, Amanda is the all powerful when it comes to famous people bios. I watched more Entertainment TV that week then one person should have to in a year(or lifetime), it was one of the only English channels we have. Amy sure did enjoy discussing clothing, shoes, and all of that stuff they cover with someone who cares and understands.

We were all able to go down to Antwerp and sample the chocolate for a day. After all of that, Amy was able to head off to Paris for a long, girls only weekend. It sounds like they had a blast. I have put some pictures here of their time in Paris.
The girls starting a night river tour of Paris. It doesn't look dark to me?
Can you see where the artist got his inspiration?
Look at that confident and gorgeous lady.










Mom is still in charge. Amanda, did this bring back any bad memories?














Amy returned home with a new purse. THANKS Amanda. You were supposed to control her spending. In all fairness to Amy, she has wanted one for some time and she is using it. I still don't get the argument that it was cheaper to buy it in Paris then in the States but I will let this one slide.




Amanda - Abigail is still asking when Payton and Max are coming to visit. She is worried that Payton doesn't have any friends. Isn't she thoughtful! :)
