I finally got to Lauterbrunnen and Gimmelwald this week after watching @RickSteves’ Best of the Alps episode so many times over the years. A thrill! Had to wear my Rick T-shirt!

Took my mom to Amsterdam to celebrate her upcoming 88th bday. 🇳🇱 We went for the amazing Vermeer exhibit & actually loved the Van Gogh museum even more.🌻 #grateful
