Last night, we saw the Von Trapp Children singing--yes, they are the great grandchildren of the Sound of Music people. It was interesting to see them in traditional dirndls; in fact, the girls wore the same dirndls that Maria actually wore when she toured. Some of the buttons were actually century old coins. So, that helped to put us in the mood for Europe!
We're leaving in an hour. M's dad is going to watch the girls and the house, and the weather in Amsterdam is looking fine. In fact, it's looking a heck of a lot warmer than here! The girls seem to know something is up....they're being awfully mushy. And I will miss them, a lot. But adventure awaits.
We're on our way!
