Start the year off right!

Well as most people go away for Christmas to visit family, we stayed home and therefore are suffering from a bit of cabin fever.  We decided that we wanted to go somewhere this weekend and were debating on where to go...

Our destination ... Amsterdam.  While we have in the works a trip to Holland in February to visit family, most of them live in the south and we figured we would not have time to see Amsterdam.  So we are going to take advantage of the short, direct flight and go for the weekend.

We have plans to visit the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum and to take a canal tour of the city.  If you have any recommendations for us, we would appreciate them.
