Preparing for our Big Trip...

In preparation of our big trip to Croatia for the White Girls’ Milestone Cruise, I splurged and took the girls for pedicures at Aveda, a fancy salon in The Hague.

I also got my hair cut, which was an interesting experience starting with a chair massage followed by a shampooing while lying down.

Afterwards, we went to Kensington for a traditional cream tea (sandwich, scone with cream and tea). The manager was so excited about the birth of the new prince in England that he poured us all bubbly. The girls were excited about being served alcohol in a restaurant for the first time, although preferred the tea.

When we got home, there was a lot of packing to do for our 2.5 week adventure.
