Last week my in-laws, Ray and Di, came for a week-long visit. It was a well-deserved break for them as this last couple of years has been incredibly busy for the two who run their own business and are in the throes of a move to Wales and their planned retirement. They work tirelessly and we wanted to be sure they RELAXED. They are typically are up early every day and have many projects in the works at the same time. We were pleased that on the first day they slept until nearly noon! They had several late mornings which we hoped meant that they were truly relaxing.
Since I'm at home I was able to spend some time with them and we spent time wandering around Wassenaar and working in the garden during the first couple of days.
They went into the Dam for a day, but weren't terribly impressed and like Wassenaar much better. They did find the windows in the Red Light District a bit interestingly weird!
We spent lots of time eating and drinking, and even playing darts. For the record, the children beat the parents fairly and squarely :)
On the Friday Alex took the day off and we all went to Delft for a visit to IKEA and a walk around this lovely town. We lounged around the square, stopping for a beer and a bite, and watching several wedding parties coming out of the town hall which is a large and beautiful building along one side of the square.
It was a wonderful visit and we look forward to their return.
