Today was one of the few sunny days we’ve had since we moved to the Netherlands, and we took advantage of the opportunity to head to the beach! It’s been a while since we lived close enough to the ocean to enjoy it at a moment’s notice. And this is a special weekend because our German neighbors, Guido and Iris, are visiting, so we loaded up the cars and drove about 40 minutes west to Zandvoort, on the coast of the Nord Zee.
Thanks to Iris, we packed the boys’ Wellingtons, which allowed Jack to enjoy the surf – ran kicking through the water like, well, a little boy.
Luke wasn’t so sure about the water – clearly he’s forgotten his origins in Pacific Palisades, and the lake in Texas.
The beach was much like California, though really windy. Oh, and there were food stands selling all types of sea food along the water (like the California “roach coaches”) that are pulled down onto the beach by huge tractors (which you can see in the picture below).
We had a lovely day, and now head home, with sand in our hair and smiles on our faces!

How fun! The weather in the Netherlands is much nicer than it was in the Palisades today. Thanks for sharing!!!
