Theme ; Challenge "Take A Word" /  WINGS
Theme ;  My VACATION to the STATES !!

That this is precisely the theme of this week can't be coincidence!
Very soon I will be leaving for my trip to the States
so this will be my LAST POST FOR THE COMING WEEKS,.

The first image is a funny selfportret.
IMAGINE  'MOI'.....
 who is almost ready to pack her bags and happy as a child that her
DREAM COMES TRUE..
Some blog friends already knew that this trip was planned long ago.
 My husband Johan and I were married 30 years last year and to celebrate this, we decided to skip a huge feast with family and friends.
Instead we start saving a lot of money for this once in-a-life-time trip,
so we could take our children with us !!
And now.....the time is finaly there.
I feel so blessed that we can take this adventure together with
Cheryl and Mitchell !! 
When you enlarge this picture you can see the places which we are going to visit.

The FIRST WEEK we will be traveling trough the East-side of the States.
We start from Amsterdam → New York → Niagara Falls → Toronto →
back to Washington DC
Then we take a next flight to the West coast where we will traveling for another TWO WEEKS
We start from Los Angeles → Phoenix/Scottsdale → Grand Canyon →
Las Vegas → Yosemite NP → San Francisco → Santa Maria →
back to Los Angeles.
And then.....ooohh so tired
but hopefully TOTALY overwhelmed by ALL the sightseeings,
a lot of laughter and cherishing moments together
we start the longggg flight home to Amsterdam.

Once home...the last week I will use my time to make a book with hundreds of photos of this journey. YEAHHHHAAA hèhè.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED TO FOLLOW US IN THE USA.......
THEN I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A PEAK ONCE A WHILE
I would love to read your reactions.
***********************************
And then...sorry about this long post.....
my SECOND piece with WINGS.
A tasty snack that can be enjoyed during my absence :-))
Please treat him gently.

Sending you A LOT of hugsss and LOVE
I will be back in about four weeks.

OOOOOOOOOwwww Rian dat wordt een ONVERGETELIJKE en INDRUKWEKKENDE vakantie!!!
Mag ik je een tip geven?????? Schrijf elke dag op wat je doet en waar je bent geweest, want.... geloof me.... na een week ben je het besef van tijd kwijt en weet je niet meer wat je al allemaal hebt gezien en gedaan. (en ik kannut weten, want khebbut zelf meegemakt)
Ik wens jullie een PRACHTIGE vakantie, heel veel plezier en een goeie reis.
