A Day in the Netherlands

Saturday we decided to drive to the Netherlands.  It's not as far as you may think. About a 30 minute drive and you're in another country! We normally go on Sunday's for the shopping as all the stores in Germany are closed on Sunday.  A nice concept unless you run out of milk on Saturday night, or you need supplies for a last minute school project.  After we made the rounds of our favorite stores, we decided to drive a little further into the Netherlands and do some exploring.  We didn't drive far before we saw windmills along the roadside.

A few minutes later we were in a beautiful town named Weert.  There is a big beautiful church and interesting buildings along with shopping and flower markets.  When the bells of the church ring you can hear them throughout the town.  What a beautiful sound! When the bells weren't ringing there was an organ grinder playing music along the street.

We ended our tour at a cozy coffee shop!  What a wonderful family day!
