Amsterdam -- Part 5

What a week!  By Friday we were a bit road weary and were looking forward to heading south again.  For our last morning in Amsterdam we visited the Rijksmuseum, the museum of art in Amsterdam.  (Amsterdam has probably a dozen art museums and I wish I could have seen them all, but a choice had to be made.)  There were, of course, many breathtaking pieces of art and history.  I saw Vermeer's The Kitchen Maid, which is probably my favorite of all the masterpieces he painted.  We were also able to experience the grandeur of Rembrandt's The Night Watch. It was a very nice final scene on our great Amsterdam Adventure.

Not that Sam will remember this experience, but he seemed to enjoy it at the time. 

The other great achievement of the day: Sam finally broke his first tooth through!  Boy were we all relieved to finally see that little pearl!
