Amsterdam Light Festival...

The next morning we did our final run over to storage to clean up the wine-soaked floor and happily close that long unexpected phase of our lives. 

I had a few errands to run, so Jimmy dropped me off in the city center and I walked back to Terri’s. Along the way I spotted this Dutch family cycling near the Noordeinde Palace.

We then packed up our stuff and headed to Amsterdam. We enjoyed Kompaan’s Willy Washington Barley Wine on the train. We dropped our stuff off at Slippery’s and made ourselves scarce so not to interrupt a family dinner.

There was no ice skating rink at the Rijksmuseum this year, but there was a giant tree...

...an interesting rainbow on top of the building...

…and a hologram tree in the gift shop.

We were thrilled that our timing was perfect and Mother Nature cooperated for us to go to the Amsterdam Light Festival, one of our favorite events of the year.

It’s also really nice to see Amsterdam Centraal lit up at night.
