Summer Vacation!
In September 2004, we were finally able to take a summer vacation. We met our friends Marty & Michele (from Seattle) in London for a few days, then we all came back to Holland to be tourists here, too.

The first part of our vacation was in London...



After checking into the hotel, we stopped at Starbucks at my request. I was so happy to be drinking an iced double mocha with whip! (No Starbucks in Holland) That's Michele, me, and Chris.
The London Eye
Chris and Staci inside The Eye, Parliament behind us
Marty and Michele inside The Eye
Big Ben
The Tower of London
The creepy scaffold site at The Tower
The people who were executed at this site
St. Pauls Cathedral was closed when we got there, so I pounded on the door to give them a piece of my mind.
What does "Potty" have to do with a grocery store??
Interesting sign...wish a few of these were posted in Holland.
Westminster Abbey - check out the color of the sky!
Back in Holland, in Delft
A nice shot of a canal in Delft
The Oude Kerk (Old Church) in Delft...not exactly perfectly vertical, is it? According to history, the tower was leaning even while they were building it. Everytime we're in Delft and I look up at this church, it messes with my mind and I sort of lose my balance for a second until I realize that I'm standing straight, the church is NOT.
Back in The Hague, on a bike trip to the beach (Scheveningen). The Pier and the North Sea behind us.
Can't update verypink without including the dogs...
The boys are going to miss days like this when Winter comes around again.
This is a funny picture. I was chillin' with George W., and we decided to have a debate, podiums and all. Don't ask me why the Pope was hanging out behind us...
Oh, and Chris was there, too. He decided to just pose for a picture with Georgie (we've called him Georgie since we all were kids), and not debate with him.
This is when Chris met Mr. Heineken himself, and had a beer with him (Heineken, naturally).
Even though Chris and I have been together over 6 years, Julia Roberts WILL NOT LEAVE HIM ALONE! Geez, that woman! She begged Chris for just one photo with him, and he was kindhearted enough to grant her that wish.
Time to be honest. These last four photos were taken at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. We don't really know George W. personally, Chris has never met or had a beer with Mr. Heineken, and I don't believe that Julia Roberts is stalking Chris. Oh, and I didn't really pound on the door at St. Paul's Cathedral, I just pretended to for the photo.
