Family vacation in Europe






We went to 9 countries in 15 days. We traveled by plane, trains, and boats. Eric's parents and Brother Chris and his wife cindy and Cherie's parents also made the trip. We started the trip in Amsterdam and got to spend some time with a college friend reijer who now lives in Amsterdam. He took Chris and Cindy and us on a great cruise through the cannels on his boat. We then took the train to Hamburg Germany and really enjoyed our time there. It is a very nice harbor town. Next we took the train to Denmark. It traveled for a few hours then the train went on a boat to cross the waterway to get to Copenhagen. It was a great experience. Next we spent a few days with everyone in Copenhagen and really enjoyed our time there. Tivoli gardens was a lot of fun (a lot like disneyland). We then boarded our boat and went to Finland, Sweeden, Russia,Estonia, Poland, and Norway. We really enjoyed all the cities. Russia was a very interesting experience. They sure like to drink there as they serve vodka and champaign with every meal. We traveled cannels in most of the cities and enjoyed all of them. We also got to ride bikes in Estonia. We then went back to Copenhagen and had a great day riding the boats through the cannels and eating on the waterway. We also went to the Gytotek art museam and happen to meet Rick Steves from the travel Channel. They filmed us for there copenhagen episode that will air in September. Eric's mom got here dream to go to Denmark with her boys and everyone had a great time.
