madurodam/the hague (7/12/11)

Earlier today, I went with Saskia's family to visit the Madurodam in the Hague. It's a pretty cool miniature park, filled with places in the Netherlands, but everything is on a 1:25 scale replica. We also saw a short laser light show about the Netherlands and its fight against the water, which was pretty cool and informational. We walked around the park for a few hours, took a lunch break (I had typical Dutch food--croquettes and fries with mayo!), and then walked out to the beach. By then, it had gotten pretty gray/cloudy and windy. It still felt really nice, though. :)
