Dad with a typical Dutch pannekoeken.  Don't judge the pannekoeken by the look on his face.  It's delicious!

Saying goodbye to Marne and Boy

Mom and Dad at the Netherlands American Cemetery at Margraten (see last year's post Memorial Day 2011)

Mom and Dad at the Jesuit caves in Maastricht.  I told them to dress warmly but they didn't listen to me (it's always 50 degrees inside the caves).  Dad is trying to keep Mom warm.

Dad puts Mom in the stockade at the Hoensbroek Castle.  He looks pretty happy about it, too. 

Dad looks at some tree?, vine? sculpture at Floriade 2012 in Venlo, Netherlands.  It's a giant flower expo that happens once every 10 years.

Castle ruins in Valkenburg, Netherlands

Happy 40th Anniversary Mom and Dad (at Pink Pop...a 3-day music festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands)!!

The final performer of the festival.

Bye Mom and Dad
