We're Here!!

Well we have arrived in Amsterdam right on schedule. Our flight from Nasvhille to Philadelphia was good just kind of uncomfortable. When we got to Philadelphia airport we went and ate at Friday's. It was delicious. Then we wondered around a few stores and went to our gate A4. We met another family that was also traveling to Amsterdam as well. They were really nice and informed us that our gate had changed so we checked it and it had. Our plane was suppose to leave at 6:30 and at 5:30 we saw that our gate changed AGAIN. Then we found out there was a malfunction on our scheduled plane so we had to get another plane which had to go through security check so we didn't board the plane until 6:30. Luckily however we still left on time. Our flight from Philadelphia to Amsterdam was long. They showed 27 Dresses as the movie and the meal wasn't that bad. Callie and I sat together and Mom and Trevor sat in the aisle beside us. We made friends with the guy beside us who was from Florida. His mom works for the Indianapolis Colts and he showed us his SUPERBOWL ring from the year they won. I am so jealous but he was a really cool guy and he even let me hold the ring, my uncle Shannon is going to be so jealous. After we arrived in Amsterdam Anneloes, Jeroen, and his sister Lichelle met us. Jeroen and Lichelle brought our luggage and Anneloes took us on the train. Holland is a beautiful country. Its flat but so green and lush with all kinds of flowers and trees. We got to Anneloes's hometown of Cuijk. Its pretty. Her mom served us "brunch" it was some kind of pea soup, different breads, and fruit. It was delicious. We also had hot tea which is NOTHING close to our southern sweet tea but I hope me and callie can survive till we get back. Well we're back at Ánneloe's apartment so I'm going to get off of her. We are waiting on Tessi to come pick us up and go over to her house. I'm excited to see her. I love and miss everyone back home and let everyone know we made it ok.
