On May 16, it was official: there were no more teenagers in The White House Commune. Little did we know when we celebrated Ashlynn’s 4th birthday on our first trip to Holland, that we’d be celebrating many of her birthdays here. Last year she was in Australia, but this year we could celebrate together the best way we know how: hashing and having a big dinner. Thanks to our neighbors, we had extra bikes and could finally hash outside our little village (although we were still minus one bike so Jimmy ran roundtrip to our hash start).
Veronica had the pleasure of devirginizing Brett on their six-month anniversary by prelaying an excellent AH3 trail through the wilds of Wassenaar.
Ashlynn had hoped that Sophie and her friend George would join us, but only George showed up. He was an excellent runner and conveniently acted as our photographer. Here we are in front of the Wassenaar Stadhuis (City Hall)...
…and at our first beer stop at a historic shell cave from 1771 at Backershagen Estate, now a historic monument.

Brett couldn’t resist climbing up the old brick wall.
Ashlynn hitched a ride from Bjarne across this grassy field.
The trail led us into this enormous tree...
…where we had a sweeties stop (or in this case, a sweet and sour stop).
I was so impressed that Veronica and Brett had managed to find spots in Wassenaar that we’d never been to.
Of course, we couldn’t pass by the windmill without taking a selfie.
