2019-07-08 Amsterdam

Super fun day. Went to the local gym here in the morning and got a workout in. Then breakfast. Then family went to the park for a bit, stopping at a market and some thrift shops along the way. After that, my friend Ben picked us up in his boat on his canal-commute home from the office(!), and took us on a cool tour of many of the canals and the harbor.

Alisa and I fed the kids at the apartment later, then went out to dinner. We were getting desperate to find a place (it was almost 9:30), and said, "Let's just duck in here!" - to a place that turned out to be a Michelin-star restaurant. Had an amazing, if out of budget, dinner. Then walked the city a bit, then back home.
