A Visit From Marie

Marie came out to visit on New Year's Eve and was able to stay until the following Monday. We sure did enjoy her visit and hope to see her more often! (wink wink) Aside from visiting and eating massive amounts of hor deurves and ollie bollen... we also made time for an excursion to Chicago to see the Museum of Science and Industry. What alot to see in a day! The highlight for me was to see all the trees they had on display for Christmas. Each one represented a different country. I have to say, the Canadian tree was a bit cheesy, though very patriotic... but the Dutch tree was beautiful! And I suppose the American tree was the biggest one in the middle of them all... filled with lights... at least I didn't see a smaller one showing American culture. Well... I guess the is the culture of the United States... bigger is better!
