So after our flight from nice to amsterdam, we had to drive two hours up to northern holland, aka Friesland, where we were going to stay in the most AMAZING giant farm house in the middle of no where on a lake...absolute bliss, it was with all of my mom's side of the family, and organized to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday, so much preparation went into the four day vacation, but first, another stop to see family!
Before driving to Friesland, my family stopped for yet again more food (after getting croissants at the airport in holland haha) at my dad's brothers house right outside amsterdam... and it was alll white with snow!! sooooo beautiful! we spent a few hours talking and even some other fam friends came over from the haag... and this marked our last family members to see haha (we saw ALL of my extended relatives with 6 days bahaha)....
then off to friesland, the most gorgeous drive to a white country side of holland....
Friesland is actually where my dad's relatives are from, so it was fun for him to go back to!!
The Farmhouse: absolutely beautiful... it had been renovated for the past two years and was so modern yet old at the same time...with the highest ceilings etc... i think it could have easily been in a home magazine... and it was in the small town of "it heidenskip" hahah and literally the middle of no where! like we had to drive down this tiny windy road to get there which was surrounded by land and frozen canals... it was amazing that alll the canals were frozen!! the huge lake outside our house even was!
So the first day we got there, it was just a catch up with all the familys and a traditional dutch dinner (we had a caterer that brought food for every meal)....
