Day 17: Amsterdam

We awoke and enjoyed a nice European breakfast. Our first destination was the Anne Frank house. "The Diary of Anne Frank" is possibly Amelia's favorite book so this was a very fascinating stop. It was quite poignant and sad to see this home and hiding place.

From there we had a quick lunch then stopped by the ancient Mennonite Church here in Amsterdam that was built in the 1600s.

Our final stop was at the Van Gogh museum, which was a wonderful museum that thoughtfully told the story of Van Gogh's life, his art and influences. I thought it was outstanding.

Even though we didn't put in a huge day, we were all exhausted by 3:30. We will finish the day with dinner and no more adventures. While there is much more that one can do in Amsterdam, I think we are officially done. Tomorrow we travel home!
