Is it Monday already? Just like the week, this past weekend flew. Here’s what were were up to:
+Friday I took my cousin to a cute little French restaurant along a canal for dinner. It was so fun catching up and partaking in some good ‘ol girl talk.
+Brunched at Le Pain Quotidien (and enjoyed the most delicious freshly made mint lemonade)
+Experienced the Anne Frank museum. It was incredibly powerful and heart wrenching. If you’re ever in Amsterdam I recommend you not miss it.
+Shopped around the Nine Streets.
+Took my cousin to our favorite Thai restaurant
+Discovered a new (adorable!!!) pastry/sandwich shop called “De Laatste Kruimel” (The Last Crumb) that is dangerously close to our apartment.
+Started Season 3 of Dexter.
+Met our downstairs neighbor who had us over for drinks. She’s super sweet and she gave us a bunch of restaurant suggestions we can’t wait to try!
+Had dinner with a bunch of coworkers who are in town from the States. You have no idea how comforting it is to have them all here. I miss their familiar faces!
What did you do this weekend? Do you feel like you need another day to recover like me?
I love the top right picture! Is it edited in Instagram or another program?
I did shopping in the Nine Little Streets too, I love those shops!!! Did you get anything good?
Aww, we went to Ann Frank's house when we were in Amsterdam a couple of years ago. It was such a moving experience. It made her story much more real to me.
of COURSE i need another day to recover! especially when sunday night is spent watching the Pats win. 🙂
isn't the anne frank huis so impactful? ive been twice already.
we are catching up on dexter too…we download tons of shows, any other good recommendations? {there's nothing like finding a great season to download over here, huh? i mean dutch tv just doesn't quite cut it.}

Oh my gosh. I've always wanted to visit Amsterdam. It looks beautiful (checked out your post from last week. I would love to venture out and live outside of the US.

Your weekend sounds amazing – I love walking around and discovering cute little cafes and shops which I've never seen before 🙂
My bf is Akrikaans and Afrikaans is really similar to Dutch (although you probably already knew that!) – so I can understand all the words – exciting!

Sounds like you really made the most of your weekend!

I loved the Anne Frank house. It was so surreal to be there! It really affected me in a good way. I'm glad you went!
Just getting back from New Orleans yesterday, so I absolutely need one more day to recover. 🙁
Oh I would love to visit the Anne Frank house one day… what an experience. Sounds like the perfect weekend to me! 🙂
It looks like you had a great weekend! The show Dexter creeps me out, although people tell my fiancee he looks like him, haha.
Omgosh. Mint Lemonade??
I can hardly wait for summer!!
Loved reading about your weekend! Mine was ok, but Oklahoma just doesn't have the exact same appeal as Amsterdam, I'm afraid.
I've been working my way through Dexter too! So addicting. It's great to pass the time while feeding the babes though:-) xoxo
i relaxed all weekend so i felt ready to go to work today.
love the pictures 🙂
Dexter is the best!
Amsterdam is definitely on my list of places to visit, especially for the Anne Frank museum. I never read the Diary of Anne Frank as a student but I did finally read it when I taught 5th grade! It's such a compelling story!
sounds like a really amazing weekend. all this talk about cafes makes so jealous. i love a good cafe!
You are now the THIRD person I know to mention Thai Bird as their fave…I think 3's a charm and I need to finally check it out! I think I'll have to add De Laatste Kruimel to the list too while I'm at it! Haha we're on season 4 of Dexter…that show has been keeping us holed up indoors all nights of the week!
oh your weekend sounds amazing! amsterdam is so beautiful x
i loved the anne frank house. and how nice you got to meet your neighbors!
ahh, don't you love dexter?!
and i bet the anne frank museum was so incredible and emotional. i would love love to visit there one day.
amazing <3
hope you are having fun with monica, caitlin, rebecca and mj! i'm jealous of them! 🙂 xoxo
