Keukenhof is one of Holland's top tourist attractions and is only open 8 weeks a year. It has more than seven million tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and spring bulbs which are planted every fall! It is supposedly the largest, most beautiful garden in the world.
Nancy taught Chad and I a new trick for Will we call "Throw the Rock." You simply throw a rock down the path and Will goes and gets it. Then he hands it to you and you throw it again. It is amazing! Will now keeps up on walks and doesn't get as distracted by bugs and sticks.

Tulips, Tulips, and Tulips...Will was admiring the color
Love Pad Locks
Whitney informed us that she wanted to see the love locks in Cologne. I didn't know about them, but was soon introduced. It is actually a neat site and I was impressed with the number and quality of the locks on the bridge. Here's some information:
Beginning in the 1980s, in the centre of the southern Hungarian city of Pécs, lovers began to clamp padlocks to a wrought-iron fence in a narrow street linking the mosque in the city's main square and the magnificent medieval cathedral, as a symbol of their commitment to one another. However, after the fence was completely covered and no more padlocks could be added, couples, both locals and tourists, began attaching them to fences and statues throughout the town centre. Love locks have started appearing on the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany. Deutsche Bahn, the bridge's operator, threatened to have the locks removed, but relented in the face of public opposition
