Celebrating my survival of the last 7 months, we took a trip to the province of North Holland for the weekend. It was wonderful to be so close to the sea and seeing all the beauty it has to offer. We traveled up the coast to Bergen aan Zee to the sea aquarium. This lion fish was our favorite of all the sea life we saw there.

This weekend we drove to the woods near Woudenberg, Nederland ~ The Utrechtse Heuvelrug.

I enjoyed every minute I was able to spend in the woods walking through the crisp leaves and breathing in the wonderful smells of autumn.

What a wonderful day we had !! I hope that you to can get away from the office and enjoy some of Mother Nature´s beautiful scenery.

One of the smallest castles in The Netherlands.

The Huys Dever is a small castle in Lisse, Netherlands. This bridge was out in the front of the castle.

While my best friend from America was visiting us here in The Netherlands. We took her to a cheese shop in Gouda. She was amazed to see green cheese ! We enjoyed being able to sample the different cheeses. Walnut cheese is my new favorite flavor :)
