December 27, 2009 - Leaving the Family Compound

Our last day at the family compound….we got up and did the usual - eat and visit.  After breakfast, we took our showers and then Bill and Ed headed to see a former concentration camp that was nearby.  Yeah, not my idea of fun (or Marsha’s), so we stayed back and packed up as this was our last day at the Scooby Dooby House.  We waited for the others to return from their adventure and then packed up the cars and headed to Shirley and Rudi’s house to eat leftovers for dinner since we had so much food from the weekend. 

Here are some pictures from Ed's visit to the concentration camp:

On the way home, we got a bit sidetracked and ended up getting split up from the group.  If you want the whole story, you will have to ask Ed.  Once we finally arrived at our destination, his business was aired to the whole house in two languages.  Good times. 

We ate and visited, it's what we do.  Understandable when you don't see each other but every few years, with the exception of 2008, when we had two funerals that brought our Holland relatives to the US.  

We also had a runway show by some of the little girls.  They are all too cute and strutted their stuff down the runway that was formed by all of our chairs!

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.  Warmth and internet….two beautiful things. 

We had a great weekend, once again!
