Since Amsterdam is a city of canals, and Evan is a lover of water, it seemed only fitting that we should take a boat tour of the city. This is probably not something I would have done without children, and probably not something I'd rush to recommend to others. But as usual Evan made it enjoyable. He absolutely loved riding the boat. He stood on the bench with his head out the window with all the wonder and innocence of a three year old.
For those who have never ventured to Amsterdam, she is a city of water and thus by default, of bridges. 1200 bridges to be exact. Evan loves bridges, this of course is old news. He has always loved to go over bridges but now he also loves to go under bridges. Of Amsterdam's 1200 bridges I think it is safe to say we sailed under about 50 of these canal bridges. As we approached each bridge Evan would stick his head back into the boat, hold Pat's face in his hands and with a big smile declare: "Daddy. Another bridge." Yes, for every bridge. All 50 of them. Somethings just don't loose their magic.
