Amsterdam!

First thing in the morning we ate breakfast and went on a train ride straight to Amsterdam. We explored every bit we could. The first thing we did was get hot dogs from the train station. They had too much ketchup on them. The first place we found was a little playground which was very lop-sided (or so I thought). We kept walking and found a nice little toy shop which had this cool thing where you walk on wheels. Then I said I needed to go to the bathroom, so we stopped at a coffee shop and Mom got a cappiccino and Elliott kept asking for a coke. We walked on and eventually stopped at the Anne Frank house that was turned into a museum. They had the REAL Secret Annex--real thing, not pretend, but all the furniture was taken out. There was a bookshelf in front of the door to the Annex so it was a real secret hiding place. Her room had old pictures all over the walls. The thing that didn't seem right is that Peter's room was as small as our laundry room at home! The only thing they had in the gift shop was Anne Frank diaries and I already have two, so we didn't stay there long. We finally stopped at a quick snack bar and got some coke. I had some too. After that we just sort of walked around aimlessly. I found a stick that looked like a monster so we played with that while we walked. Then we found another playground. I asked Mom to guard my stick while we played but she said she was NOT going to touch my Germ Monster (I invented it myself). It started raining a little so we stopped at a restaurant where we ordered a lot of food. I had spring rolls, tomato soup, hot chocolate and a milkshake. It was getting late, so we decided to go back home. Now this is the really funny part! Mom got on the right train but we missed the stop and I was like "Hey Mom, that's our stop. That's our stop!" because I had memorized the WHOLE train station every time we went there. Then she realized that we did miss the stop so we had to get off at the next stop and go back. Grandma Betty already had dinner ready for us, but I didn't need any. The end. Whew!
